These were a batch of writ petitions filed under the Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction (Appellate Side) of the Calcutta High Court, challenging matters arising out of the functioning of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission. The petitioners, comprising a large number of candidates, raised grievances relating to their selection, appointment, or non-appointment to teaching posts under the West Bengal Central School Service Commission.

The matters were heard together by a Division Bench comprising Hon'ble Justice Debangsu Basak and Hon'ble Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi.
