In the WBSSC job case, a group of ‘untainted’ teachers who lost their jobs after the Supreme Court’s ruling have approached the Calcutta High Court, alleging that Bengal Police are harassing them despite the apex court’s order.
The Calcutta High Court has ordered the West Bengal Board of Primary Education to revise and republish the entire 2017 recruitment list of 42,949 primary school teachers due to errors in training status. This decision aims to rectify discrepancies identified in candidates’ records, reinforcing the integrity of the hiring process.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee praised the Supreme Court’s decision to allow untainted school teachers, previously terminated, to continue their services. The court recognized the negative impact of recruitment issues and mandated a new recruitment process by May 31, 2025, while excluding certain employee groups from this relief.
Today, On 6th August, The Supreme Court will hear West Bengal’s challenge to a Calcutta High Court order nullifying over 25,000 school staff appointments in September. The court has extended the deadline for responses to August 16 and emphasized the need for a detailed examination of the alleged systemic fraud in the recruitment process. The CBI is also involved in the investigation.
