Himachal: Directorate of Education sacked a teacher working with fake B.Ed degree
Shimla, July 23: The Directorate of Education has sacked a teacher working with a fake Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree, marking the end of a long legal battle. The incident, which first came to light in 2020, ended with the teacher’s dismissal after several failed attempts to seek judicial relief.
The teacher concerned was working as a Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) in Arts in Government School Bandla since 2016. On submission of documents for regularisation in 2020, the screening committee found that the B.Ed degree was obtained from Bhartiya Shiksha Parishad Uttar Pradesh, an institute declared fake by University Grants Commission (UGC) Delhi.
In response to this revelation, the education department issued a notice to stop the teacher’s regularisation process and terminate her job. However, the teacher challenged this decision in the Himachal Pradesh High Court in 2022. Despite her efforts, the court dismissed her plea.
Undeterred, the teacher filed a Letters Patent Appeal (LPA) in the High Court in 2023 seeking reversal of the previous decision. The court also dismissed this appeal in April 2024, upholding the decision to terminate her services.
On July 20, 2024, the Directorate of Education officially ordered the dismissal of the teacher. Deputy Director of Education Bilaspur Rajkumar Sharma confirmed the issuance of the dismissal order.
