Calcutta HC pulls Bengal Chief Secretary for delay in granting prosecution sanction in school job scam

Op India  

On Tuesday, the Calcutta HC pulled up West Bengal Chief Secretary BP Gopalika over the delay in sanctioning prosecution in the ‘cash for jobs’ scam. The court rapped the Chief Secretary asking, “Is there any ‘level playing field’ for prosecution agencies in West Bengal?” The division bench comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Gaurang Kanth is jointly hearing the bail prayers of Former Minister Partha Chatterjee and other Trinamool Congress MLAs. If this is a circumstance in which a prosecuting agency has to prosecute, will the agency be able to have a level playing field?” The Court opined that it respects the Chief Secretary’s standing to take such a decision that may make him unpopular to the political executive of the state, however, adding that it was his duty. The court further remarked, “We are left to wonder why the highest civil servant of the State has not discharged his bounden statutory duties in a prompt manner, resulting in an undesirable hiatus to the progress of the prosecution in cases involving deep-rooted corruption in the high offices of this State.” Notably, the School Jobs for Cash Scam or recruitment scam pertains to illegal recruitments made in the primary and secondary schools across the State, during the recruitment process of 2016.
