West Bengal SSC recruitment: SC invalidates appointment of 25,753 teachers and other staff

The Supreme Court has invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and other staff in state-run and state-aided schools made by the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC) in 2016, declaring the entire recruitment process 'tainted' and lacking credibility. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar upheld a Calcutta High Court verdict dated April 22, 2024, annulling the appointments and ordered the state to initiate a fresh selection process to be concluded within three months.
