SC halts probe by CBI into Bengal recruitment scam

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the Central Bureau of Investigation from carrying out any “precipitative steps” in connection with the West Bengal teacher recruitment scam, even as it pulled up the state for “fraud” in appointing 23,000 persons whose services have been terminated by a recent Calcutta high court order. This is complete fraud.” The state government represented by senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, rather than commenting on on the manner in which these persons were recruited, raised a larger issue on the high court allowing the CBI to undertake further investigations on creation of supernumerary posts to accommodate illegal appointments, which was based on a state cabinet decision. The state in its appeal filed through advocate Astha Sharma said: “The high court has proceeded in a cursory manner to cancel all appointments of teachers and non-teaching staff, in utter disregard to the fact that the same will lead to a huge vacuum in the state schools, unless new selection process is completed by the SSC, especially when the new academic sessions is on its brim, leading to the students being adversely impacted.” While the CBI found alleged irregularities in the case of 4,327 teachers and non teaching staff, the high court, instead of segregating them, cancelled the entire recruitment process involving 23,123 teachers and non-teaching staff and directed all persons who got benefit of employment to return all remuneration and benefits received by them to the state exchequer along with 12% interest within a period of four weeks. “Persons submitting blank OMR sheets had secured appointments, amongst other stark illegalities.” While ordering CBI probe into the creation of supernumerary posts, the high court said, “It is shocking that at the level of the cabinet of the state government, decision is taken to protect employment obtained fraudulently in a selection process conducted by SSC knowing fully well that such appointments were obtained beyond the panel and after expiry of the panel, at the bare minimum.”
