The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision canceling 25,753 teacher and non-teaching staff appointments made by the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC) in 2016, calling the process “tainted beyond repair.” The court directed the Bengal government to start a fresh selection process within 3 months, allowing relaxation for untainted candidates. The SC also scheduled a hearing on Bengal’s challenge to the CBI probe. Justice Sanjiv Khanna stated that salaries paid so far need not be returned. Bengal argued the HC order disregards the academic impact. (PC: The Print)
