What we know
Candidates in the 2018 recruitment of 69,000 assistant teachers say thousands of reserved seats were filled wrongly. The High Court ordered a fresh merit list in August 2024; the Supreme Court stayed it, and hearings have been adjourned repeatedly. In July 2026 the state told the court no serving teacher would lose a job.
Protesters have camped at Lucknow's Eco Garden for over 500 days.
Open questions
- How many times has the Supreme Court hearing been adjourned, and why?
- How many candidates are affected, and what remedies have been proposed?
- How could recruitment lists be checked before appointments, so disputes are caught early?
