The Calcutta High Court has declared the 2016 teacher recruitment process in West Bengal government-sponsored and aided schools as null and void, affecting approximately 25,753 teaching and non-teaching staff. The court found irregularities in the selection process, including the destruction of original OMR sheets and the use of a 'Mirror Image' process to produce fake OMR sheets. As a result, all appointments made through this test have been canceled, and those employed are required to return their earned salaries with 12% interest within four weeks. The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, criticized the verdict, claiming it was influenced by BJP leaders and declared it illegal. She has vowed to challenge the decision and expressed her intention to stand by those who lost their jobs. Additionally, the CBI is set to conduct further investigations, and former minister Partha Chatterjee has been arrested in connection with the scam.
