    Summary of Court's Decision The Bombay High Court ruled that the cut-off date for the 2025-2026 Cluster Head LDC (Limited Departmental Competitive Examination) shall be 01.01.2026 (rather than 01.01.2025 as per recruitment rules), determining that candidates with six years of experience and TET qualification by this date are eligible, while the Supreme Court's mandate making TET mandatory for all promotion candidates must be upheld.
