West Bengal 32,000 Primary Teacher Case: Big Questions Over Justice Gangopadhyay’s Verdict!

West Bengal 32,000 Primary Teacher Case: The case regarding the cancellation of 32,000 primary teachers’ jobs in West Bengal has taken a new turn in the Calcutta High Court. The state government’s appeal challenging Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay’s verdict brought forth several significant questions during the hearing. Advocate General (AG) Kishore Dutta’s arguments questioned Justice Gangopadhyay’s judicial process, creating fresh speculation about the future of this case.

Key Points of the Hearing

• Questioning the Judicial Process: State AG Kishore Dutta argued in court that Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay did not provide equal opportunities to all parties during the case proceedings. He contended that the judicial process was conducted unilaterally and the verdict was announced hastily. This argument has shifted the direction of the case, as it challenges the very basis of the original judgment.
• Lack of Transparency in Answer Sheet Evaluation: The court also raised questions about the process of appointing external agencies for evaluating the answer sheets. There was no clear explanation regarding the criteria based on which these agencies were selected. The court expressed concern over this issue, as it directly relates to the transparency of the recruitment process.
• Next Hearing: The next hearing for this case is scheduled for June 23rd. All eyes are now on the court’s decision after hearing arguments from all parties on that day, as it will determine the fate of 32,000 teachers and their families.

Advice for Teachers

In this situation, the most important thing for the teachers is to remain calm and trust the legal process. They should:

• Wait for Accurate Information: Refrain from paying heed to rumors on social media or other sources and wait for the court’s verdict.
• Seek Legal Advice: Stay in regular contact with their lawyers and remain informed about every step of the case.
• Stay United: Work together with teachers’ organizations to face the situation collectively.

This case will not only determine the future of 32,000 teachers but also significantly impact the transparency of West Bengal’s education system and the common people’s faith in the legal process. What verdict the court delivers in the coming days is what remains to be seen.
