KOLKATA: A committee appointed by the Calcutta High Court to probe irregularities in school recruitment has found the five-member panel set up by the education department to oversee the appointments “not valid under the law” and has blamed the panel members for the illegal appointments in Group D posts.
The committee, which submitted its report to the HC division bench of Justices Subrata Talukdar and Justice Ananda Kumar Mukherjee on Monday, also wondered about the panel’s accountability and its relationship with the then Partha Chatterjee-led education department.
