Bengal Govt Files Leave Petition Before SC As Calcutta HC Cancels Appointment of 25K Teachers

Kolkata: The West Bengal government on Wednesday filed a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court against the Calcutta High Court’s order invalidating almost 24,000 teaching and non-teaching jobs, which were filled up as a result of the 2016 SSC Recruitment process.

The development took place after the Calcutta High Court on Monday invalidated almost 24,000 teaching and non-teaching jobs across government and aided schools across West Bengal. Notably, the vacancy’s were filled up as a result of the 2016 SSC Recruitment process, which was subsequently challenged due to the cash-for-jobs recruitment scam.
