Allahabad High Court Orders Probe into 15 Years of UP Assistant Teacher Appointments

• The Allahabad High Court has ordered a comprehensive investigation into all assistant teacher appointments made in Uttar Pradesh over the past 15 years.
• The court mandated the dismissal of teachers with fake documents and the recovery of salaries paid to them.
• Justice Manju Rani's single bench assigned the Principal Secretary of the Basic Education Department to complete the probe within six months.
• The court also ordered punitive and disciplinary action against officials found complicit or negligent in allowing fake teachers to remain in the system.
• The case originated from a petition by Garima Singh, a teacher from Deoria, whose educational certificates were found fake by STF in 2025.
