Case 1: Suman Biswas vs. State of West Bengal

This case fundamentally challenges the legality of the new recruitment rules for the 2nd SLST 2025. According to the petitioner, Suman Biswas, these new rules were not created lawfully and contain several procedural flaws.

Key Allegation: The petitioner’s main complaint is that the proper procedure was not followed when drafting the new recruitment rules. He believes that the rules could be discriminatory towards job seekers and lack transparency.
Importance of the Case: If the court declares the new recruitment rules illegal, the state government will have to formulate new ones. This could lead to further delays in the notification and recruitment process for the 2nd SLST 2025. Conversely, if the court upholds the rules, the recruitment process can move forward without any further hurdles.
Hearing Date: The hearing for this critical case is scheduled for July 25, 2025.

Case 2: Suman Biswas vs. Union of India

This case is related to the publication of OMR sheets as part of the CBI investigation into the 2016 SSC recruitment process. The CBI has been directly implicated as a party in this case, which significantly increases its importance.

Main Issue: The case demands the publication of OMR sheets based on information that has surfaced from the CBI’s investigation. The petitioner believes that publishing the OMR sheets will enhance the transparency of the recruitment process and help deserving candidates reclaim their rights.
Role of the CBI: With the CBI as a direct party, they will be required to present their investigation report and findings to the court. This is expected to bring new information about the recruitment scam to light.
Hearing Date: The hearing for this case is also set for July 25, 2025.

The Path Forward

The outcome of these two cases will play a significant role in shaping the future of thousands of job aspirants in West Bengal. All eyes are on the hearing on July 25. It is hoped that the court will deliver a fair and just verdict, ending the long wait for job seekers and restoring transparency to the recruitment process.
