Headnote AI-drafted · Reviewed and approved
A batch of writ petitions was filed before the Calcutta High Court (Appellate Side) by numerous petitioners challenging matters connected with the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and the State of West Bengal, arising in the context of school service appointments and related grievances under the constitutional writ jurisdiction of the High Court.

The petitions, spread across multiple years from 2016 to 2021, involved a large number of individual petitioners seeking relief against the State of West Bengal and the West Bengal Central School Service Commission in respect of their claims for appointment or regularisation in teaching or non-teaching posts in schools governed by the 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 writ petitions together and disposed of them by a common judgment dated 22 April 2024.
