SSC Supreme Court Update: Commission Challenges High Court Verdict in Supreme Court with Two New Petitions
SSC Supreme Court Update: The legal complexities surrounding the West Bengal Central School Service Commission (WBCSSC) continue to unfold. Following orders from the Calcutta High Court, the Commission has now moved the Supreme Court challenging those verdicts. According to the latest updates from the ‘Educational Creativity’ channel, the WBCSSC has filed fresh petitions in the apex court against two specific orders of the High Court. This development is crucial for job aspirants as the future trajectory of the recruitment process depends significantly on these proceedings.
Details of the Two New Cases in Supreme Court
The Commission has directly challenged the Single Bench orders of the Calcutta High Court in the Supreme Court. The detailed information regarding these two cases is presented below:
| Details | Case 1: Jakir Hossain vs WBCSSC | Case 2: Nupur Ghoshal vs WBCSSC |
|---|---|---|
| Diary Number | 73787/2025 | 73779/2025 |
| Filing Date | 19th January 2025 (1:38 PM) | 19th January 2025 |
| Challenged Order | Calcutta HC Case No. 2867/2025 (Justice Amrita Sinha’s Bench, 12th December 2025) | Calcutta HC Case No. 28629 (Justice Amrita Sinha’s Bench, 12th December 2025) |
Context and Grounds for Challenge
The reasons behind the Commission’s decision to approach the Supreme Court directly, bypassing the Division Bench, and the core issues of the cases are as follows:
- Challenging the Single Bench Verdict: Typically, an appeal against a Single Bench order is made to the Division Bench. However, in this instance, the Commission has moved directly to the Supreme Court, citing previous directions from the apex court regarding the hearing of these matters.
- Age Relaxation Issue: The primary contention of the petitioners (unappointed candidates from the waiting list) was regarding discrimination. They argued that while in-service candidates were granted age relaxation, the waiting list candidates were denied the same benefit. They approached the court questioning why they were being deprived when in-service candidates, despite facing allegations of irregularities, were receiving benefits.
Impact of the Subi Sarkar Case
These new cases are deeply interconnected with the ‘Subi Sarkar vs State of West Bengal’ case (WPA 20 of 2025).

- The Supreme Court has already granted an interim stay on the Single Bench order in the Subi Sarkar case and has directed all parties to file affidavits.
- The Commission anticipates that since there is a stay on the main case, the Supreme Court is likely to pass a similar order for these two new petitions as well.
Next Steps and Possibilities
The hearings for these cases are likely to be scheduled in January. Due to the Supreme Court’s intervention, the publication of the Commission’s list is currently on hold. This implies that no major changes in this part of the recruitment process will occur until a final directive is received from the Supreme Court. Aspirants must now wait for the next hearing updates from the apex court.
