SSC 2016: A letter sent from the District Inspector of Schools (DI) of Cooch Behar to the Commissioner of School Education has sparked new hope among the eligible candidates of the 2016 SSC, SLST, and RLST examinations. This letter, concerning a deputation submitted by Suman Biswas and other affected candidates, is being seen as a significant administrative step in their fight for job restoration.
Core Subject of the Letter
This official notification sent by the DI (Secondary Education) of Cooch Behar to the School Education Commissioner at Vikas Bhawan is essentially a forwarding letter. Through this, a memorandum and deputation submitted under the leadership of Suman Biswas on behalf of the affected candidates of the 2016 SSC, SLST, and RLST examinations have been brought to the attention of higher authorities. The letter, dated June 26, 2025, mentions that the candidates have submitted a self-explanatory memorandum with various arguments and evidence supporting their eligibility.
The DI has forwarded this memorandum to the Commissioner for necessary action.
The Significance of This Letter
At the administrative level, the importance of this letter is immense. It demonstrates that the district-level education administration has given weight to the demands of the affected candidates and has forwarded the matter to the state level. While the candidates are engaged in a legal battle and are also communicating their issues to various departments, this letter from the DI has further strengthened their administrative fight.
Next Steps and Candidates’ Hopes
On the other hand, the candidates are not only pursuing administrative avenues but have also knocked on the doors of the country’s highest court. A review petition has been filed in the Supreme Court by the state, and simultaneously, the candidates have also conveyed their problems to the President and the Prime Minister. Eligible candidates are hopeful that the Commissioner will seriously consider this letter from the DI and their submitted memorandum and take positive steps toward their job reinstatement.
Although the final decision depends on the Supreme Court’s verdict, such administrative actions have undoubtedly boosted their morale and added a new dimension to their struggle.
