Allahabad High Court Restores 2022 Principal Appointments, Sets Aside Earlier Order
The Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench overturned a single-judge order that had invalidated appointments of school principals finalized in 2022 under a 2013 recruitment advertisement. The single-judge bench had ruled the process illegal due to delays disadvantaging candidates qualified after 2014, citing constitutional concerns. However, the division bench restored the appointments, allowing them to remain valid, noting that many appointees had already been serving since December 2022 and that a fresh recruitment was not mandated.
