Male Teachers Must Submit Geo-Tagged Photos for Their Attendance: MP High Court
- Case Name: Mahesh Kumar Koli & Anr. v. State of Madhya Pradesh
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has dismissed an appeal by two primary school teachers challenging a circular requiring geo-tagged photos for attendance.
Hearing the matter, the Court ruled that male teachers cannot claim privacy violations and imposed a ₹2,500 fine on each appellant.
The Court, however, acknowledged privacy concerns for female staff and directed the State to allow them to submit photos of the campus or principal’s office.
It also urged the government to develop an application to address privacy concerns while ensuring teacher accountability.
