About 15 days after 25 thousand teachers and non-teaching staff of West Bengal, the Supreme Court has given permission to remain on the job till 31 December.
Along with this, the Supreme Court said that this time has been given to the state government to complete the new recruitment. During the hearing of the state government’s plea, the court pronounced this decision on Thursday.
In fact, the court had ruled to dismiss all these, calling the process of recruitment of these teachers completely wrong. After which the state government had recommended the Supreme Court to stay on the job for a few days.
There are continuous demonstrations in the state over the dismissal of 25,000 teachers in West Bengal. Teachers are demanding justice to impeccable candidates.
Issue notification for recruitment in May- SC
A bench of CJI Sanjeev Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar said, ‘If the state government follows certain conditions, then we are ready to accept the state government’s recommendation regarding the recruitment of Assistant Teachers for class 9th to 12th. Advertising should be released on or before on 31 May 2025 for fresh recruitment. After this, its exam and recruitment process should be completely eliminated by 31 December 2025.
The bench also said that West Bengal SSC will have to file affidavits before 31 May 2025, with the advertisement and entire schedule of recruitment to be held by December 31 so that the recruitment process can be completed on time. If this does not happen, the court will instruct to take strict steps about it.
Candidates say that there is no guarantee of getting a job on giving exams again. Nor is there a guarantee that this time there will be no rigging.
What is the whole matter…
West Bengal SSC i.e. WBSSC appointed 25,000 teachers and non-teaching staff between 2016 and 2020. Of these, about 18,000 candidates were appointed as an assistant teacher for 9th to 12th classes.
However, in 2021, many candidates questioned this recruitment process and also appealed to the court.
During this time it was revealed that WBSSC entrusted a company named M/S NISA without any open tender to maintain digital database and scan and evaluate OMR sheets. According to the Kolkata High Court, WBSSC could not submit any document about this company which could prove its qualification.
Apart from OMR sheets, recruitment was done without issuing merit list in this recruitment process, disturbances were made about rank and there was a disturbance about waiting list candidates. The CBI was handed over its investigation, M/s NISA officials and others associated with the commission were questioned and some were also arrested.
Finally, on 3 April 2024, the Kolkata High Court ruled to cancel the appointment of 25,000 teachers and non-teaching staff. The court said that it is difficult to differentiate between tainted and immaculate candidates. In such a situation, the appointment of all will be canceled. However, on April 17, the Supreme Court said that as long as there are new appointments, old candidates can continue the job.
