Kolkata, Nov 17 (TIWN) A Calcutta High Court judge on Thursday observed that if the teachers getting appointments through unfair means cannot be terminated, it is better to wind up the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC).

The bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay asked the counsels of WBSSC and the petitioners in the matter to review the recruitment and waiting lists on an emergency basis and submit a report on September 28.  The Justice also ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team probing the WBSSC recruitment irregularities to submit a separate report on the same on the ineligible candidates who got teachers’ appointments illegally.

According to him, the two reports will be reviewed after which those getting appointment illegally will be terminated from their services and replaced by those eligible candidates who are in the waiting list.  “If necessary, the CBI team might also consult the WBSSC officials while preparing their report,” observed Justice Gangopadhyay.  Earlier on Wednesday, the CBI submitted a report to the court on the progress of its investigation in the WBSSC recruitment irregularities scam.
