32000 Teacher Case: Many Teachers Be Dropped from the 32,000 List? Final Hearing in High Court Today

32000 Teacher Case: The hearing on the case of cancellation of jobs of 32,000 untrained teachers is underway in the Calcutta High Court. This case is being heard by a division bench of Honorable Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty and Honorable Justice Ritabrata Kumar Mitra. The case has now reached a stage where every hearing has become extremely important.

Case Background

This hearing is essentially a part of the 32,000 job cancellation case, where certain candidates have applied to be considered as trained. These candidates are from the D.El.Ed 2014-16 batch, whose final results were not published when the 2017 recruitment process began. As a result, the board considered them as untrained. The petitioners argue that since their results were published later, they should be treated as trained candidates from the beginning.

Petitioners’ Argument

• The petitioners are from the D.El.Ed 2014-16 batch and did not have their final results at the time of the 2017 recruitment process.
• The board considered them untrained, thus including them in the list of 32,000 whose jobs are at risk of cancellation.
• They demand to be considered as trained candidates from the start, as they received their results later.

Justice Chakraborty’s Remark

On July 22, 2025, Justice Chakraborty made a significant remark. He said that if the appointments of the 32,000 untrained teachers are canceled, the petitioners would also be affected. However, he used the word “suppose,” indicating a hypothetical scenario, not a final decision, as the main case is still pending.

Current Status

The case was listed for hearing on July 23, 2025, but could not be heard due to time constraints. It is confirmed to be heard today, July 24, 2025, and is listed early in the court’s schedule.

Potential Outcome

If the petitioners succeed in proving themselves as trained candidates, they will be excluded from the list of 32,000 job cancellations. This will reduce the total number of jobs at risk. The video expresses hope that the court will rule in their favor, leading to a decrease in the 32,000 figure. The verdict of this case will determine the future of thousands of teachers in West Bengal, so all eyes are now on the Calcutta High Court.
