The high court also reprimanded such candidates for filing the petition and questioned their intention.

The court did not interfere in the list of 'tainted and ineligible' candidates, which was published by the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) on Saturday evening.

The court observed that this is not a suitable case to interfere with the published WBSSC list.

At the hearing, the court questioned where the 'tainted ineligibles' who filed the petition had been for so long.

Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya said: "Where were they (tainted and ineligible West Bengal SSC candidates) for so long? The moment the list was published, they came to the court. Enough is enough! How can you say that the 'tainted ineligibles' are not ineligible after publishing the list in compliance with the Supreme Court's order?"

As per the Supreme Court's order, the WBSSC published the list of 'tainted and ineligible' candidates.
