These are a batch of writ petitions filed under the Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction of the Calcutta High Court challenging actions of the State of West Bengal and the West Bengal Central School Service Commission relating to recruitment and appointment of teachers and other staff in schools under the jurisdiction of the Commission. The petitioners in the various writ petitions are candidates who appeared in the selection process conducted by the West Bengal Central School Service Commission and are aggrieved by the manner in which the selection, merit list preparation, and appointment processes were carried out.
The Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court, comprising Justice Debangsu Basak and Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi, heard the connected writ petitions together as they involved common questions of law and fact arising out of the recruitment process conducted by the West Bengal Central School Service Commission. The matters pertained to the rights of candidates in the selection process for appointment to teaching and non-teaching posts in schools covered by the Commission.
The Court considered the grievances of the large number of petitioners spread across numerous writ petitions filed between 2016 and 2021, all involving the State of West Bengal and the West Bengal Central School Service Commission as respondents, and disposed of the matters after hearing the parties.
