KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court’s single-judge bench of Justice Amrita Sinha will be hearing a crucial case on the alleged and gross irregularities in the fresh recruitment of higher secondary teachers in the state-run schools of West Bengal.

During the hearing on Monday, the state government is expected to give its explanations to the court on the basis on which the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) determined the "untainted" teachers from the commission's 2016 panel, which would be deemed eligible for participation in the fresh recruitment of secondary and higher secondary teachers this year.

During the last hearing in the matter on November 28, Justice Sinha questioned the basis of determining "untainted" teachers from the 2016 panel and sought an explanation from the state government and the commission on this count.
