The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court on Wednesday stayed the process related to the appointment of 69 thousand teachers in Uttar Pradesh schools.
A bench of Justice Alok Mathur stayed the appointment process of teachers and directed the petitioners to submit their objections to the state government after which they will be sent to the University Grants Commission for an expert opinion.
The court was hearing a batch of petitions, filed by one Amit Tripathi and others, challenging the process of appointment of teachers. Some petitions had raised objections to the exam questions.
The counselling of the candidates for the appointment was slated to start today.
