The Supreme Court halted a probe into West Bengal government officers amid a teacher job crisis, following the High Court's order invalidating over 25,000 teacher appointments. The top court granted relief to the Mamata Banerjee-led government, staying the CBI probe into officials' alleged role in a recruitment scam. The state government argued the High Court's decision led to abrupt job terminations, disrupting the education system. Calcutta High Court had ordered the CBI to investigate illegal appointments, including potential custodial interrogation. The Supreme Court's intervention aims to address the crisis and prevent further disruptions in the education sector.
