    Case Summary: WPSS/1468/2026 Shahzama, an Assistant Teacher (Urdu) appointed in 2021, challenged termination orders from the State of Uttarakhand and District Education Officer dated April-May 2026, which terminated his services for having 41.07% graduation marks (below the 45% requirement). The court found merit in the petitioner's argument that an NCTE notification from 2019 exempts candidates who took B.Ed. admission before 29.07.2011 from the 45% marks condition; the petitioner satisfied this criterion. Justice Pankaj Purohit stayed the termination orders until the next hearing, directed respondents to file counter-affidavits within six weeks, and found the State's alternative argument (lack of Urdu as main subject) unacceptable as it wasn't stated in original termination orders. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
