# 69,000 teacher recruitment: UP govt files affidavit in HC 2026-10-15T16:11:50+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday, 15 October 2026, filed a counter-affidavit in the Lucknow bench of the High Court in the one-mark dispute case concerning the recruitment of 69,000 assistant teachers. The government's counsel informed the court that the affidavit had been submitted in the registry section. The court granted the petitioners' lawyer two weeks to file a rejoinder and scheduled the next hearing for 19 November 2026. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The court has now received the government's formal position on the one-mark dispute, shifting the focus to the rejoinder due from the petitioners. Until that response is filed and heard, the status of thousands of candidates who may have been affected by the mark allocation remains unresolved. The next hearing on 19 November will set the timeline for any further orders. The delay in filing the affidavit had held up proceedings, with it now on record, the case can move toward a substantive hearing on the merits of the dispute. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Straight procedural report on affidavit filing and next hearing date This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
