These are a batch of writ petitions filed under the Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction of the Calcutta High Court challenging actions/inactions of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the State of West Bengal in relation to appointments and selection processes for teaching posts in government-aided secondary schools in West Bengal. The petitioners, spread across numerous writ petitions filed between 2016 and 2021, sought relief in connection with their claims arising out of the recruitment process conducted by the West Bengal Central School Service Commission.
The Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court, comprising Hon'ble Justice Debangsu Basak and Hon'ble Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi, heard the batch of matters together given their common questions of fact and law pertaining to the functioning and selection procedures of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission. The court considered the grievances of a large number of candidates who had participated in the selection process and whose appointments or recommendations were the subject matter of these proceedings.
The matters were disposed of by the Division Bench on 22 April 2024, with directions as deemed appropriate on the facts and circumstances of each case, keeping in view the statutory framework governing the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the rights of the candidate-petitioners vis-à-vis the State respondents.
