The court held that the petitioner had passed two examinations, Intermediate and Adib-E-Kamil, in a short period of five months, which was not proper.

Holding that Jamia Urdu Aligarh, a minority institution imparting education to deprived sections, is distributing degrees without proper classes, the Allahabad High Court has denied such degree holders any right to appointment as Urdu language assistant teachers in primary schools run by Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board.

Dismissing a writ petition filed by Azahar Ali and others, Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery observed, "The petitioner has passed intermediate exam in the year 1995 and a certificate was issued on July 26, 1995. As per case of petitioner, he got admission in Jamia Urdu, Aligarh to pursue Adib-E-Kamil in July, 1995. Its exam was conducted in November, 1995 i.e. within five months and result was declared in July, 1996. A certificate placed on record clearly shows that petitioner has passed Moallim-E-Urdu examination held in February, 1997."

The petitioners had pleaded that they got degrees in Adib-E-Kamil from Jamia Urdu, Aligarh and were eligible to be appointed as assistant teacher (Urdu language) in state primary schools. All petitioners appeared in the Uttar Pradesh Teachers Eligibility Test - 2013 and cleared it.

The petitioners claimed that they featured in the merit list prepared pursuant to the test results where some were given postings while others were waiting for posting. Meanwhile, an inquiry found that some petitioners passed the Adib-E-Kamil course in less than a year when the duration of the course was one year while some obtained degrees in the same year they sat for their Intermediate Exam.
