    Case Summary: WP/4515/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad dismissed the writ petition filed by teachers challenging their exclusion from a promotion seniority list. The court held that teachers seeking promotion must have qualified the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) or Central TET (CTET) as of September 1, 2025, citing the Supreme Court's *Anjuman Ishaat-E-Taleem Trust* judgment. Since the petitioners had not cleared TET/CTET by that date, they were ineligible for promotion this year, regardless of their service tenure or readiness to undertake compliance later. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
