Allahabad HC: Jamia Urdu Illegally Distributes Degrees
The Allahabad High Court found that Jamia Urdu in Aligarh was giving out degrees improperly.
This means the degrees aren't valid for teaching jobs.
Some people got their degrees too quickly, like within five months of their other exams.
The court said this was not right.
Because the degrees were considered invalid, those who got them couldn't become assistant Urdu teachers.
The court's decision was based on the short time frame in which degrees were obtained and the lack of proper classes at the institute.
The court dismissed the case of those who challenged this decision.
Allahabad High Court ruled that Jamia Urdu Aligarh distributed degrees illegally.
The court stated degree holders were ineligible to be assistant Urdu teachers in UP schools.
Petitioners had obtained Adeeb-e-Kamil degrees from Jamia Urdu.
Court found that some obtained degrees too quickly, within months of other exams.
Appointments of some petitioners were canceled due to the illegal degrees.
