On April 3, 2025, the Supreme Court delivered its verdict on the 2016 West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) recruitment scam, confirming large-scale corruption in hiring. The court imposed fines of up to ₹26 lakh on candidates who secured jobs illegally. Investigations revealed manipulated merit lists and unauthorized appointments in government schools. The ruling aims to uphold transparency and accountability in public sector recruitment.
