The Statesman Siliguri
|September 02, 2025
A section of tainted and ineligible West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) candidates, on Monday, approached the Calcutta High Court, seeking to participate in the new recruitment process.
The development comes days after WBSSC published the list of tainted and ineligible candidates as per Supreme Court's order, who were barred from taking part in the recruitment process, exams of which are scheduled on September 7 and 14.
Nearly 350 such 'ineligible' candidates filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court on Monday, wanting to appear in the said exams.
They said that the WBSSC did not follow rules in publishing the list and claimed that there were some discrepancies in it.
