AP TET & TRT Exams: High Court Denies Stay, Orders Further Hearing

Key points from the High Court judgement:

• No stay on TET and TRT notifications: The High Court refused to postpone or cancel the AP Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and Teacher Replacement Test (TRT) as per the issued notifications.
• No interim orders: The Court declined to pass any temporary orders at this stage, emphasizing that doing so would be tantamount to a final verdict.
• Further hearing scheduled: The case will be heard again on February 28th, 2024, for a final decision.
• School Education Department to respond: The Department has been directed to submit a detailed counter-argument addressing the concerns raised by the petitioners.

Petitioners' arguments:

The petitioners argued that the short gap between TET (March 8th) and TRT (March 15th) exams is insufficient for adequate preparation. The petitioners highlighted the vast TET syllabus and claimed insufficient time to study within the 19-day window.

The Court acknowledged the need for a comprehensive examination of the concerns raised and deemed an interim order inappropriate at this stage. The Court scheduled a final hearing on February 28th to provide a definitive resolution after considering all arguments and the Department's response.

The TET and TRT exams will proceed as per the issued schedule unless the High Court's final decision on February 28th dictates otherwise. The Department needs to prepare a detailed counter-argument addressing the time constraints and syllabus concerns raised by the petitioners.
