A batch of writ petitions was filed before the Calcutta High Court (Appellate Side) challenging matters arising out of the recruitment and selection process conducted by the West Bengal Central School Service Commission for appointment to teaching posts in government-aided schools in West Bengal. The petitioners, who were candidates in various selection processes, raised grievances pertaining to their non-appointment despite having qualified in the selection process, irregularities in the selection and appointment procedure, and allied service-related matters.
The Court, constituted by a Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court exercising Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction, took up the connected writ petitions together given the commonality of issues relating to the functioning of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the State of West Bengal in the matter of school service appointments. The petitions collectively involved a large number of candidates seeking relief in relation to their claims for appointment or regularisation to teaching positions in schools under the purview of the Commission.
The matters were heard and disposed of by the Division Bench, addressing the rights and claims of the petitioners in the context of applicable statutory provisions governing school service recruitment in West Bengal, including the relevant rules and regulations framed under the West Bengal School Service Commission Act.
