Kolkata, Dec 3 (NationPress) On Wednesday, the division bench of the Calcutta High Court rejected the ruling of a single-judge bench that had annulled the appointment of 32,000 primary teachers in state-operated schools.

However, attorney Tarunjyoti Tiwari, representing the petitioners, stated that he intends to approach the Supreme Court to contest the recent order.

Tiwari, a member of the West Bengal BJP's Legal Cell, is the principal attorney in this matter.

He expressed, “I hold profound trust in the judicial system. The court has listened to all involved parties. We petitioned for a stay; however, the judge opted not to grant one. The judge also mentioned corruption, but the primary concern was the emotional aspect. Corruption did not prevail here. The investigation will proceed. We will escalate this to the Supreme Court.”

Previously, on May 12, 2023, the Calcutta High Court mandated the cancellation of 32,000 primary teacher positions across the state.

This decision was made following petitions from various individuals alleging that several candidates received appointments through recommendations despite their low rankings in recruitment exams.

The state government contested this ruling at the division bench.

During the single bench proceedings, Tiwari scrutinized the entire interview process.

He asserted that there were significant flaws in the interview procedure, which justified the cancellation of the positions by the single bench.

In the meantime, another attorney, Kaustav Bagchi, also a BJP leader, voiced his support for contesting the High Court's ruling at the apex court.

He remarked on social media, “With utmost respect to the judges, I assert that corruption cannot be legitimized for emotional reasons. I firmly believe that this verdict will not endure. If upheld, it would set a bizarre and alarming precedent.”
