Overview

• Hundreds of terminated teaching and non-teaching staff rallied outside WBSSC headquarters on April 21, demanding the promised segregated list of 'tainted' and 'untainted' candidates.
• The Supreme Court's April 3 verdict annulled 25,753 appointments from the 2016 recruitment panel due to widespread irregularities, splitting staff into two categories but leaving individual designations undefined.
• Education Minister Bratya Basu had assured the list would be published by April 21, subject to legal clearance, but WBSSC officials claim they are still awaiting legal guidance.
• Protesters, led by the Deserving Teachers’ Rights Forum, have vowed not to leave the WBSSC premises until the list is released, citing uncertainty over their eligibility to return to work.
• A contempt petition has been filed against WBSSC for failing to comply with earlier court orders to publish the list, with a hearing scheduled in the Calcutta High Court.
