Complying with the Supreme Court’s directive, the West Bengal School Service Commission released the names of 1,804 ineligible candidates. The top court had directed the Commission to release the list of tainted candidates in the cash-for-jobs scam.
The West Bengal Central SSC in a notice said, “In compliance with the Order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated August 28, 2025 in the matter of SLP(C) No.23784/2025(BEJOY BISWAS & ORS. Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL & ORS.), the list of candidates as mentioned in the List 1 is attached below, who were selected, whose selection has been set aside by the Hon’ble High Court and confirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, is hereby published in the official website of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission in order to place the List of such tainted candidates in public domain.”
On July 14, SSC teachers who lost their jobs after the Calcutta High Court decision in 2024, launched a protest march ‘Nabanno Abhiyan’ in Howrah towards the Bengal Secretariat under the banner of ‘Jogya Shikshak Shikshika Adhikar Mancha’.
They lost their jobs following a Supreme Court judgment that held that the whole appointment process was tainted. The teachers who lost their jobs staged several protests against Mamata Banerjee’s government, demanding justice.
