The Calcutta High Court has ordered the cancellation of appointment of around 36,000 candidates who were untrained at the time of their recruitment as primary teachers in West Bengal government-sponsored and -aided schools
Former state minister Partha Chatterjee, who was arrested in July in the SSC recruitment scam for his alleged involvement in it, is currently in jail custody at the Presidency correctional home.
Primary teachers' bodies in West Bengal have said it would be a herculean task to furnish details about appointments made since 2011, which was sought by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as part of its probe into a school jobs scam.
