The High Court of Punjab & Haryana dismissed Jagtar Singh's intra-court appeal challenging his rejection for Head Teacher positions, holding he failed to meet the mandatory 50% bachelor's degree requirement under the 2018 Statutory Rules. The court rejected his arguments for parity with another appointee and dismissed an Army certificate claiming equivalence, ruling that statutory recruitment qualifications cannot be circumvented by prior administrative errors or external certifications. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
