Allahabad High Court Seeks Details on Ad Hoc Appointments in UP Medical Colleges
The Allahabad High Court has directed Uttar Pradesh's Director General of Medical Education and Training to submit a detailed affidavit on vacancies and ad hoc appointments in government medical and nursing colleges. The court noted over 500 contractual posts with only 2-3% filled by regular employees and urged prioritizing the proposed 2026 service rules for regular selections. The directives followed a petition challenging the cancellation of a contractual appointment under a government order limiting such contracts to three years. Further hearings are scheduled for October 13.
