Kolkata High Court orders release of appointment list for upper primary teachers

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 28 : The Kolkata High Court has ordered the release of the appointment list for upper primary teachers, potentially benefiting 14,000 candidates.
The court's decision, announced by the division bench of Justices Tapabrata Chakraborty and Parthasarathi Chattopadhyay, directs the School Service Commission to publish the final list within four weeks. Following the publication, counselling will be conducted.
The court's ruling is expected to resolve a nine-year-old issue regarding teacher appointments.
According to lawyer Firdaus Shamim, the School Service Commission had previously invalidated the selection of 1,463 candidates, claiming errors in the "updated interview OMR seats."
The court has instructed that these candidates be reinstated in the merit list and that counselling be conducted for the 14,052 candidates currently on the list. The court found the Commission's previous merit list to be incorrect.
