The entire 2016 teacher and education staff hiring procedure was dismissed last Monday by the division bench of Justice Debanshu Basak and Justice Mohammad Shabbar Rashidi of the Calcutta High Court. A total of 25,753 persons lost their jobs. It was mandated that those hired through expired panels—those hired through the submission of white papers—refund their salary.
Within four weeks, the job beneficiaries are expected to refund their wage, plus interest at the rate of twelve percent. The West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC) then challenged the High Court’s decision in a case that was submitted to the Supreme Court on Wednesday. In addition, separate cases were filed by the Board of Secondary Education and the state government.
SSC Chairman Siddharth Majumdar expressed his displeasure with the High Court’s decision on Monday. He asked the question, “Five thousand people have been accused of getting jobs illegally, why should the jobs of 26 thousand people be cancelled?” On that day, Siddharth declared he would make a decision after conferring with the lawyers.
In a similar vein, SSC appealed the employment cancellation ruling in a Special Leave Petition (SLP) submitted to the Supreme Court on Wednesday. “There were allegations of corruption in the CBI investigation in the case of 5,000 jobs,” stated Siddharth on Wednesday. In addition, there are currently around 19,000 unemployed teaching and non-teaching staff members. We are bringing a case before the Supreme Court to overturn the decision of the High Court, subject to negotiations with the state administration.
