NIN Web Desk : Dr subhrojyoti chattopadhyay; Keeping in mind the state’s education system, their plea was that those who are not ‘tainted’ or ‘marked as ineligible’ should continue to have their jobs for the time being. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the board. The Chief Justice’s bench said that teachers of classes 9-10 and 11-12 who are not ‘tainted’ will be able to go to school.
However, the Central Board of Secondary Education and the School Service Commission will have to give a notification to start the new recruitment process by May 31. An affidavit to this effect will have to be filed in the court by May 31. Not only that, the Supreme Court also directed that the recruitment process should be completed by conducting examinations before the end of the year. The Chief Justice’s bench also said that if the order is not implemented within the stipulated time, it will be withdrawn. In that case, the court will issue necessary orders again. However, this new order is not applicable to Group C and Group D employees. In their case, the previous order will remain in force.
On April 3, the Supreme Court’s Chief Justice’s bench had ruled to cancel the jobs. The court had cancelled the entire 2016 panel of SSC on charges of corruption. The Calcutta High Court’s order was upheld as a result, 25,753 people lost their jobs. Along with the cancellation of their jobs, they have also been asked to return their salaries. Many of them are ‘marked ineligible’. The CBI investigated and identified them as ‘ineligible’. However, along with them, ‘eligible’ people also lost their jobs. In that atmosphere, the board argued that this verdict would have a huge impact on the state’s education system. They had said that there would not be enough teachers to teach in many schools.
In the board’s petition in the court, it was said that the Supreme Court’s verdict would create a teacher crisis in 9,487 high schools and 6,952 higher secondary schools in the state. Citing this problem, the board had appealed to the Supreme Court that the jobs of all the others, except those identified as ‘tainted’, should be retained for the time being. The Supreme Court has responded to the plea that all those teachers and education workers should remain in their jobs until the current academic year or until the new recruitment process is completed.
