The Supreme Court on Friday set aside a direction of the Calcutta High Court to the West Bengal Board of Primary Education to conduct fresh selection for 32,000 teachers before the end of August.
A Bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and K.V. Viswanathan requested the High Court to decide the pending appeals in connection with the school jobs-for-cash scam case, to which the recruitments are allegedly linked, as early as possible.
“This a matter relating to selection and appointment of a large number of assistant teachers, we hope and trust that such controversy ought to be decided at the earliest. Therefore, we request the High Court to expedite the writ appeal,” the court observed.
