💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and staffers in West Bengal's state-run and aided schools, terming the selection process as "vitiated and tainted". The court upheld a high court verdict annulling the appointments and directed the tainted candidates to refund their salaries. The appointments of untainted candidates were cancelled, but they were allowed to apply to their previous departments or autonomous bodies.
