Breaking News: Final Verdict on 32000 Primary Teachers Case Today

32000 Primary Teachers Case: Today, December 3, 2025, is set to be a watershed moment in the history of primary education in West Bengal. Bringing an end to prolonged legal complexities and the anxiety of thousands of teachers, the final judgment on the highly anticipated 32,000 and 6,000 primary teacher recruitment cases is scheduled to be pronounced. All eyes are on the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court as it delivers the verdict that will decide the fate of thousands.

The livelihoods of thousands of primary teachers in the state hang in the balance. From aspiring candidates to currently employed teachers, everyone is waiting with bated breath to see what decision the court arrives at after the lengthy hearings.

Hearing Schedule and Bench Details

The judgment for this high-profile case will be delivered tomorrow at the Calcutta High Court. Given the significance of the case, all attention will be focused on Court Room Number 11. Below are the specific details of the hearing:

Approximately 44 MAT cases filed by the West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) and others have been listed for the hearing. Additionally, 146 CAN applications are also included within the scope of this judgment.

Possible Scenarios: Which Way Will the Verdict Go?

According to legal experts and observers, today’s pronouncement is not just a simple order but a comprehensive ‘Judgment’. Based on the proceedings, three primary possibilities are emerging:

• Job Retention: The biggest relief would come if the Division Bench completely sets aside the previous Single Bench order that cancelled the jobs. In this scenario, the jobs of the 32,000 currently employed teachers would be secured, providing them with a ‘safeguard’.
• The Middle Path: The court might opt for a balanced approach where the petitioners (approximately 140-150 individuals) are granted employment opportunities while simultaneously allowing the currently employed teachers to retain their jobs. This is being viewed as a potential equitable solution.
• Upholding Single Bench Order: While experts consider this less likely, the possibility of the court upholding the Single Bench’s order to cancel the jobs cannot be entirely ruled out.

Future of CAN Applicants

Many candidates had submitted ‘CAN’ applications to join the case or voice their grievances. The court’s judgment is likely to include specific directions regarding them. It is anticipated that the court may direct these applicants to approach the Single Bench to prove their eligibility or grievances. Only if they can substantiate their claims there, might they be considered for future opportunities.

As the clock ticks towards 2:00 PM today, the future of thousands of families will become clear with this historic judgment. The teaching community across the state is hopeful for a positive resolution.
