TET Mandatory Case: Big Move by West Bengal Government, Primary Education Board Finally Files Review Petition in Supreme Court

TET Review Petition: A highly significant update has emerged regarding the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) case related to teacher recruitment in West Bengal. After a long wait, a Review Petition has finally been filed in the Supreme Court concerning this matter. This move is expected to bring a new turn to the course of the case, according to concerned circles. The eyes of job aspirants in the state are now fixed on the country’s apex court.

Review Petition by the Primary Education Board

The biggest news is that this review petition has been filed on behalf of West Bengal. However, there is a crucial point to note here. The petition has not been filed directly in the name of the ‘State of West Bengal’ or the West Bengal Government. Instead, the ‘West Bengal Board of Primary Education’ (WBBPE) has submitted this application.

According to the information received, this review petition was filed on the 12th of November. This step by the Board, instead of direct intervention from the state government, is considered highly significant. For now, this is the only and latest review petition filed from the state’s side.

Other Petitions Have Also Been Submitted

Besides the petition from the West Bengal Board of Primary Education, several other applications have been submitted in connection with this case. These applications have been made by various individuals and organisations, further adding to the complexity of the case.

• Shyamali Haldar: She filed a Modification Application on the 10th of November.
• Bidhan Kumar Mondal: A review petition was filed on his behalf on the 11th of November.
• Bangiya Prathamik Shikshak Samiti: This organisation also filed a review petition on the 12th of November.

It has also been reported that two modification applications filed earlier are no longer visible. These multiple petitions indicate that various parties involved in the case are keen to present their arguments before the Supreme Court.

Future Steps and Uncertainty

Although the West Bengal Board of Primary Education has filed the review petition, there is still ambiguity surrounding certain issues. For instance, there is no clear information yet on whether the Board of Secondary Education or the Education Department of West Bengal will file a separate review petition.

For the time being, the review petition filed by the WBBPE remains the central point of discussion. Thousands of job aspirants and teachers are now waiting to see what observations the Supreme Court makes based on this application or if it sets a date for the next hearing. The verdict in this case will play a crucial role in determining the future of the teacher recruitment process in West Bengal.
