The Supreme Court is hearing the appeals filed by the State of West Bengal and certain private individuals challenging the decision of the Calcutta High Court to set aside the appointments of nearly 25,000 school staff.
The High Court quashed the appointments on the ground that they were illegal. The Court also issued direction to the CBI to investigate into the recruitment scam.
The Supreme Court earlier observed that it will see if the untainted appointments can be segregated instead of quashing the entire recruitments.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar is hearing the matter.
