SSC Case Hearing: Why Opportunity For Tainted Candidates Court Question In Recruitment Case

SSC Case Hearing: Another significant hearing took place in the Calcutta High Court regarding the teacher recruitment case in West Bengal. Multiple questions have arisen concerning transparency in the recruitment process and whether the rules are being strictly followed. In today’s session, the Court took a particularly stern stance regarding the opportunities being allegedly granted to ‘Tainted’ candidates. The proceedings primarily revolved around why and how rules are being violated despite specific orders from the Supreme Court.

Justice’s Observation on Recruitment Irregularities

The primary query from the Justice in today’s hearing concerned the participation of ‘Tainted’ candidates in the recruitment process. The Court directly inquired how such candidates are being given opportunities despite clear directives from the Supreme Court. Surprise was expressed regarding how the process could proceed by violating rules in recruitment matters.

Maintaining transparency in teacher recruitment is of utmost importance. If candidates deemed tainted or ineligible receive benefits in any way, it questions the integrity of the entire system. Legal experts believe that this question or observation by the Justice could create new legal complications regarding the transparency of the state’s recruitment process.

Validity of New Rules and Experience Marks

Another crucial topic in today’s argument was the timeline for adding ‘Experience Marks’. A lengthy discussion took place regarding the cutoff period for counting candidates’ experience for marks allocation and the legal validity of the newly formulated rules.

Advocate Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya presented his arguments on behalf of the petitioners. However, his submission was not concluded in today’s hearing. He primarily raised questions about the calculation of experience marks and the rationality of applying the new rules.

Current Status of the Case and Next Steps

According to court sources, the pleadings phase of this case has not yet concluded. As per legal procedure, the court usually does not call for an affidavit until the pleadings are finished. Therefore, the court did not order the submission of any affidavit during today’s hearing.

The following points have emerged as the next steps in the case:

• Next Date: The next hearing for the case has been scheduled for next Tuesday.
• Time: The hearing will commence at 2:00 PM.
• Agenda: Senior Advocate Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya will conclude his unfinished submission.

Job aspirants are keeping a close watch on which direction the case takes after Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya finishes his arguments next Tuesday. Specifically, there is a possibility of a detailed discussion on the OMR sheet issue and other legal complexities in the upcoming hearing. While the main focus of today’s hearing was on rule violations and the status of tainted candidates, the issue of OMR distortion or discrepancies will likely be examined with great importance in the coming days.
