Calcutta HC division bench upholds order banning ‘tainted’ candidates from WB school recruitment process
A division bench of the Calcutta High Court on Thursday (July 10, 2025) upheld its single bench order directing the West Bengal School Service Commission to debar the ‘tainted’ candidates from appearing in the ongoing fresh recruitment process of teachers carried out by the Commission.
On July 7, the single bench of Justice Sougata Bhattacharya had not only debarred ‘tainted’ candidates from the recruitment process but directed that WBSSC shall consider any application by such tainted candidate should deemed to be cancelled.
The West Bengal government and the WBSSC had moved the division bench challenging the single bench order. A division bench of Justices Soumen Sen and Smita Das De on Thursday (July 10, 2025) rejected the State government and WBSSC petition and questioned as to why they were so keen on standing with the ‘identified-as-tainted’ and ‘illegible’ candidates of the 2016 panel who secured appointments through fraudulent means.
