Allahabad HC orders commission to produce original records in roll number row
The Story in Brief
The Allahabad High Court on Monday, 2 November, directed the selection commission to produce original records on 5 November 2026 in a dispute over roll numbers in the Assistant Teacher (TGT) recruitment examination 2025. Justice Manju Rani Chauhan was hearing a petition by Rajesh Kumar.
The petitioner claimed his provisional admit card showed roll number 0996088, which appeared as successful in the commerce subject result declared on 1 September 2026. He alleged that the provisional selected list showed the name of Jeetu Kumar against the same roll number, and sought correction of his name at serial 31.
The commission's counsel argued that the petitioner's actual admit card carried roll number 0238376 and that 0996088 belonged to Jeetu Kumar, accusing the petitioner of fraud by submitting documents with a different roll number. The court said examining original records of both candidates was necessary and posted the next hearing for 5 November.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The dispute hinges on which roll number belongs to which candidate, with the commission alleging document manipulation. The court has not decided the facts, it has only ordered the commission to bring the original records on 5 November and file an affidavit by then. The outcome will depend on whether the original admit card and answer sheet match the petitioner's or Jeetu Kumar's identity. If the commission's records corroborate its claim, the petitioner may face a fraud inquiry, if they support the petitioner, the commission's selection list could be invalidated for one post.
