West Bengal school jobs row: SC to hear pleas against invalidation of 25,753 jobs on January 15

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court will hear pleas challenging a Calcutta High Court order invalidating the appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff in government and aided schools in West Bengal on January 15. On May 7 last year, the apex court granted major relief to teachers and non-teaching staff of West Bengal whose services were invalidated by the High Court on grounds of irregularities in the appointment process. The top court, however, made it clear that the State's teachers and non-teaching staff whose appointments were cancelled by the High Court would have to refund the salaries and other emoluments if it reached the conclusion that their recruitment was illegal. The top court also termed the alleged recruitment scam "systemic fraud" and said the State authorities were duty-bound to maintain the digitised records pertaining to the appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff.
