Deploying teachers for election duties, including SIR, won't violate right to education: Allahabad High Court - Bar and Bench

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that deploying teachers for election-related duties, such as serving as Special Invigilators (SIR), does not inherently violate students' right to education. The judgment clarifies that such temporary assignments do not amount to a denial of educational access, provided schools remain operational and alternative arrangements are made. The court emphasized that the right to education is not absolute and may be balanced against other public interests, particularly during critical civic processes. Legal experts are analyzing the implications for future deployments of public servants in election-related roles.
