Concerning saga surrounding the 2016 school job selection process in West Bengal, the Calcutta High Court has thrown the spotlight back on the issue. According to reports from PTI, the court has called for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to delve deeper into suspected irregularities.
This move comes after a period of intense scrutiny, which saw the CBI making waves with the arrest of former education minister Partha Chatterjee and several officials from the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC). Allegations of a scam surrounding the selection process have cast a shadow over the entire affair.
The roots of this controversy lie in the grievances of candidates who, despite passing the State Level Selection Test 2016, found themselves without job offers. Their petitions prompted retired Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay to push for a CBI investigation during his tenure on the bench. Interestingly, Gangopadhyay has since taken a political leap, joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and announcing his candidacy from Tamluk in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections.
As the saga continues to unfold, the public remains eager for answers regarding the alleged irregularities and the impact they've had on the education sector in West Bengal. With the court's decision to ramp up the investigation, it seems we're in for more twists and turns in this gripping tale of power, politics, and the pursuit of justice.
