Major Update in TET Wrong Question Case: Report Submitted, Job Opportunity Likely for Candidates

TET Case Update: After a long period of legal complexities and waiting, a new ray of hope is finally visible in the Primary TET Wrong Question Case. A very crucial report has been submitted to the bench of Justice Biswajit Basu of the Calcutta High Court. Following the prolonged legal battle of the petitioners, this move by the court has created the possibility of injecting new momentum into the recruitment process. Based on the information obtained from the source, it is understood that the fate of the candidates may change based on the findings of this report.

Report Submission and Court Observation

There had been various complications for quite some time regarding the submission of the expert committee report in the TET wrong question case. Finally, that report has been presented in the Single Bench of Justice Biswajit Basu. The hearing of this case took place at serial number 51. Key aspects of the hearing are discussed below:

• Presentation of Expert Report: Although the report has not yet reached the hands of the lawyers and will likely be available by Monday or Tuesday, the judge’s observation is extremely significant.
• Judge’s Positive Indication: After reading the report, the judge’s expression led the present lawyers to assume that there might be some positive news for the candidates. That is, a strong possibility has arisen for an increase in marks due to the wrong questions.

OMR Re-evaluation and Opportunity for New Recruitment

If the court’s order goes in favor of the candidates and marks are increased, the subsequent processes are likely to be completed very quickly.

1. OMR Sheet Re-evaluation: If marks increase, the Primary Education Board will have to re-evaluate the OMR sheets of the concerned candidates.
2. Opportunity in Current Process: The last date for application in the currently ongoing primary teacher recruitment process is December 9th. If the court’s final decision arrives before this and candidates pass, they may likely get an opportunity to participate in this recruitment process.
3. Board’s Stance: The Board has indicated in court that if candidates pass anew, their inclusion in the current recruitment process will be considered.

Precedent of 2014 Case and Current Situation

The source mentions an important precedent of the 2014 TET wrong question case. At that time, it was observed that even after the main recruitment process ended in 2017, many candidates secured jobs in 2020-21 after winning the wrong question case by court verdict. A similar situation may arise in the current case. This means that those who pass the TET anew as a result of the legal victory may be included in future or ongoing recruitment processes.

Importance of Next Monday’s Hearing

The next hearing of this case has been scheduled for next Monday. This day is going to be extremely important for the candidates.

• Single Bench Decision: After a detailed discussion of the report on Monday, it will be clarified exactly how many marks are increasing and what instructions are being issued to the Board.
• Role of Division Bench: The Board had appealed to the Division Bench regarding this case. However, since the report has been submitted to the Single Bench and the main hearing is ongoing, the Division Bench will likely refer the matter back to the Single Bench for disposal.

All in all, the long struggle of the TET candidates is on the verge of coming to an end. It is expected that the matter will become clearer after the final hearing on Monday.
