WB recruitment scam: SC stays Calcutta HC order invalidating appointment of over 25k teachers, non-teaching staff in schools

The Supreme Court temporarily stayed the Calcutta High Court's decision nullifying the appointment of over 25,000 teachers and staff by the state's School Service Commission. The bench allowed the CBI to investigate the matter but cautioned against hasty actions. Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized the importance of public job integrity for social mobility and criticized the lack of digitized record maintenance by the state government.
