‘People will lose faith’: CJI Chandrachud raps Bengal govt over recruitment scam

Hindustan Times  

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Tuesday came down heavily on the West Bengal government over the teachers recruitment scam, saying people would lose faith in the system. Justice Chandrachud dubbed the alleged scam as a “systemic fraud” and said that state government authorities were duty-bound to maintain the digitised records pertaining to the appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff. A bench, comprising the Chief Justice and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, was hearing a plea by the West Bengal government against a high court order invalidating the appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff made by the School Service Commission in state-run and state-aided schools. Last week, the Supreme Court had stayed the Calcutta High Court order directing the CBI to probe the role of West Bengal government officials in the teacher recruitment scam.
