Supreme Court Orders WBSSC to Publish 'Tainted' List Within a Week, Keeps Sept. 7 and 14 Exam Dates

The move tightens oversight of a fresh hiring round following the annulment of 25,753 2016 appointments for large‑scale manipulation.

Overview

  • A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and Satish Chandra Sharma directed the West Bengal School Service Commission to post the list of tainted candidates within seven days.
  • The court refused to reschedule the new recruitment tests, confirming exam dates on September 7 and 14 with applications open until September 2.
  • The bench warned the commission it would face consequences if even a single ineligible candidate is allowed to sit the exam.
  • WBSSC’s lawyer first said the tainted list had been disclosed, then withdrew that claim and agreed to make it public.
  • The matter is next listed for October 8, with earlier orders canceling 25,753 jobs and permitting untainted teachers to continue until December 31 as fresh hiring proceeds.
