Kolkata: Following a Calcutta High Court order, the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has permitted 79 “untainted” teachers to participate in a special counselling for recruitment at the upper primary level.
Referring to the recent HC verdict, the commission issued a notification, allowing the 79 petitioners to take part in the recruitment process for assistant teachers. The special counselling, slated for Nov 27, will be held at the commission’s Salt Lake office. The 79 petitioners had moved the court, explaining that in 2016, they were called simultaneously for upper primary counselling as well as the state level selection test (SLST) counselling for secondary and higher secondary posts. They ultimately lost their jobs following a Supreme Court order, cancelling the entire 2016 SLST panel.
