The Central Bureau of Investigation has so far been able to dig out the names of 952 people who obtained illegal appointments in Bengal school services.
The CBI probing the TET and school level appointment scam has told the Calcutta High Court that it has so far been able to find out 952 people who secured forged recommendations of appointment to various schools.
After getting the CBI report the Court stayed its own order directing the SSC to publish in its website the names of 183 fake candidates who had obtained appointments via illegal means.
The Court had also asked the Commission to get the names of the illegal appointees in newspapers. The Court decision had come after the SSC had told it that 183 people had been illegally appointed. However after the CBI’s submission that it had dug out the names of 952 illegal appointees thus far, the Court stayed the earlier order and directed the investigation to be carried further.
The Court also made a passing remark which could further embarrass Trinamool Congress Government when the single Bench rued tendency of the State to rush to the Supreme Court to get stays against High Court orders disqualifying illegally appointed school employees — instead of helping the judiciary in disposing of such cases.
A section of higher judiciary had recently come under severe attack from TMC leadership who have questioned impartiality of some judges. “Some judges are grinding their political so that after retirement they can get plum posts or nominations in Parliament,” Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said.
ED and CBI raids in the recent past post orders passed by JusticeAbhijit Gangopadhay in SSC and TET cases have seen a number of senior TMC politicians including ministers, MLAs and other senior officials going to jail.
