The court has also ordered that from today, the 1,911 employees shall not be treated as Group D staff at the schools where they were recommended for jobs.
The Calcutta High Court on Friday directed the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education to sack 1,911 Group D employees who were appointed in state government schools illegally.
The High Court was told that the 1,911 employees had got the recommendation wrongly which the court saw as manipulation of their Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets for the recruitment examination in 2016.
"The Commission has said that amid passing of this judgement it has uploaded a notification cancelling recommendations of 1,911 candidates as their marks in the commission server are incorrect. It is said that the marks are incorrect but submission is made that it is manipulated. I accept this submission. As 1,911 candidates were wrongly recommended, the court is ordering the commission to cancel the service of 1,911 candidates," a single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court said in its order.
"Commission is directed that in place of 1,911 candidates, based on merit from names of waitlisted candidates from the government list, should be recommended," the court order read.
