The Supreme Court intervened to stay the Calcutta High Court's decision canceling 25,000 teaching and non-teaching positions in West Bengal's state-run and state-aided schools. Describing the alleged recruitment fraud as "systemic," the court emphasized the importance of maintaining digitized records. Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, along with Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, questioned the state government's lack of data supervision. The bench criticized the arbitrary cancellation and emphasized the importance of public faith in government appointments. The West Bengal government challenged the order, citing potential adverse impacts on the state's education system.
