#Article 226 Writ

Andhra Pradesh High Court reinforces that denying a student the right to appear for exams due to tuition fee arrears violates Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. The court directed the university to permit the student to take supplementary exams while mandating fee payment within three months, balancing institutional interests with fundamental rights.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has quashed the transfer of a tribal teacher outside his district, affirming that Rule 18 of the 2018 Service Rules mandates seniority be preserved at the district level. This ruling protects hundreds of tribal educators from arbitrary transfers that erode their service rights and undermines administrative fairness in education postings.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that authorities must issue a provisional Scheduled Tribe certificate to a minor seeking Sainik School admission, even if the certificate's validity is under appeal, as the right to education cannot be delayed by procedural stays. This sets a critical precedent for equitable access to competitive educational opportunities for marginalized communities pending final adjudication, with repayment of differential fees conditional on appeal success.
