Kolkata, March 3: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to stay the Calcutta High Court's order regarding termination of 1,911 illegally recruited non-teaching staff of state-run schools in West Bengal. However, it directed the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) not to fill up the posts till further orders.

Recently, Calcutta High Court's single-judge bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay ordered for the termination of the 1,911 non-teaching staff in Group-D category. Along with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)'s finding, the WBSSC had submitted that these candidates were recruited illegally and their optical mark recognition (OMR) sheets were tampered with to facilitate their unethical appointment. Supreme Court Refuses To Stay Election Commission Order Recognising Eknath Shinde Faction As Official Shiv Sena.
