Today, On 27th January, The Supreme Court will hear pleas regarding the cancellation of 25,753 teaching and non-teaching jobs in West Bengal, as ordered by the High Court. The apex court clarified that if it finds the appointments illegal, those affected must return the salaries and benefits they received. This case stems from allegations of irregularities in recruitment for school jobs.
The Calcutta High Court declined bail to Partha Chatterjee and four others in the SSC scam case. Last month, a two-judge division bench of the High Court delivered a split verdict on their bail pleas. After the split decision, the case was referred to a larger bench for consideration. With this ruling, all the accused will remain in custody as the investigation progresses.
Today, On 6th May, The Supreme Court extended the stay on the CBI probe into the Bengal School Jobs Scam until May 7. The decision follows the appeal by the West Bengal government against the annulment of teacher appointments by Calcutta High Court. The case involves allegations of fraudulent selection procedures, prompting a call for CBI investigation.
