These were a batch of writ petitions filed under the Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction of the Calcutta High Court (Appellate Side) challenging matters relating to recruitment and appointment through the West Bengal Central School Service Commission. The petitioners, spread across numerous writ petitions filed between 2016 and 2021, sought relief in connection with their claims for appointment or regularisation in government-aided schools in West Bengal.
The Division Bench comprising Justice Debangsu Basak and Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi took up all the connected writ petitions together for hearing and disposal, given the common questions of law and fact arising out of the recruitment process conducted by the West Bengal Central School Service Commission. The matters involved a large number of candidates who had participated in the selection process but had not been appointed despite their eligibility or merit.
The High Court proceeded to hear the batch matters collectively, examining the role of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the State of West Bengal in the recruitment process for teaching posts in government-sponsored or government-aided schools, and issued directions accordingly.
