The Punjab High Court dismissed a teacher's petition challenging her dismissal after a 14‑year tenure based on a forged degree.
The Punjab High Court has refused a petition filed by a school teacher who had been employed for 14 years on the basis of a falsified academic qualification.
The court upheld the earlier finding that the degree presented by the teacher was counterfeit, thereby confirming the termination and any related disciplinary measures.
Judges emphasized that the verdict reinforces the need for authenticity in educational credentials and serves as a cautionary precedent for other public servants in the education sector.
