The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Uttar Pradesh Government to fill up vacancies for 69,000 assistant basic teachers in the State as per the results it declared in May this year.
A bench headed by Justice U U Lalit dismissed a batch of petitions including the one filed by the ‘Uttar Pradesh Prathmik Shiksha Mitra Association’ challenging the Allahabad High Court decision to uphold the cut off marks for selection of assistant basic teachers in the States.
The association and several other individual ‘Shiksha Mitras’ had challenged the UP government’s order of January 7, 2019 by which the qualifying marks for the Assistant Teacher Recruitment Examination 2019 were fixed at 65 and 60 for general and reserved categories respectively.
