Amid protests, SSC Chair Siddhartha Majumdar pledged to present a nuanced approach to the Supreme Court regarding the termination of 25,000 government-aided school employees’ jobs. The move follows the Calcutta High Court’s April 22 order nullifying appointments over alleged 2016 selection test irregularities.
Majumdar confirmed the commission’s intent to differentiate between deserving and undeserving candidates, a stance reiterated amidst protests outside the SSC office. The commission plans to present categorized individuals to the Supreme Court, echoing prior submissions to the high court.
The legal saga stems from suspicions of irregularities in some appointments, prompting the high court to annul all selections. Disputing this, the state government and SSC argue it disregards natural justice principles.
The Supreme Court seeks clarity on distinguishing between valid and invalid appointments. The SSC aims to demonstrate its capacity to protect individuals unfairly implicated.
As the case unfolds, thousands await clarity on their job status. The Supreme Court’s upcoming deliberations on May 6 will shape the case’s trajectory.
The SSC remains committed to fairness and transparency, engaging stakeholders and the judiciary to ensure a just resolution.
