New Delhi [India], The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to continue its investigation into the alleged West Bengal teacher recruitment scam, even as a bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Mishra Asked CBI not to take any punitive action against teachers or officials. The top court also stayed the order of the Calcutta High Court, which had directed the dismissal of about 25,000 teaching and non-teaching staff appointed through the 2016 state-level examination in the state. Said that she will hear the case next on July 16. During the hearing, the bench termed the alleged recruitment scam in West Bengal as a "systemic fraud", noting that the State of West Bengal has no data to prove the sanctity of these tests. Mandated to maintain digital records related to appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff The top court was hearing petitions challenging the April 22 verdict of the Calcutta High Court, which had quashed the appointment of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff. Was invalidated. Hearing the government and government-aided schools case of West Bengal, the bench said, "Public jobs are so rare...if the public trust is lost, nothing will be left." This is systemic fraud. Public jobs are extremely rare today and are seen as a form of social mobility. If their appointments are also discredited then what is left in the system? People will lose faith, how do you believe this? Earlier, the West Bengal government had challenged the Calcutta High Court order, saying it had "arbitrarily" canceled the appointments.
