The School Service Commission (SSC) in West Bengal is embroiled in legal challenges regarding its teacher recruitment process. The Calcutta High Court has ruled that candidates deemed unqualified cannot participate in the examinations, a decision that has impacted the state government. The court has directed the SSC to amend its recruitment notifications to exclude ineligible candidates. However, the Bengal government and SSC have moved to challenge a single bench order related to this matter before a division bench of the Calcutta High Court. The SSC disclosed to the court that 180 applicants lost their jobs due to corruption allegations. The division bench has questioned the SSC's authority in the recruitment process amid ongoing protests by dismissed teachers. Additionally, the High Court ordered that doctors over 32 years old be allowed to sit for the 48th Special BCS examination. Legal representatives have indicated that directives from higher authorities in the state government are influencing efforts to support the unqualified candidates. The controversy continues to unfold as the SSC and the state government seek to defend their positions in the judiciary.
