The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday summoned the chief of the CBI’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged recruitment scam to appear before it at 2 pm on Wednesday with documents related to the probe in the case.
According to sources, the single bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay has sought to know how many candidates have got appointment letters fraudulently and the total count of people who had submitted blank papers yet got appointment letters.
Sources said the court also wants to know why non-deserving appointed candidates have not yet resigned. On Tuesday, the Judge asked the CBI for a list of such teachers. At the same time, Justice Gangopadhyay said, “If those who got jobs by submitting blank papers and if they do not resign, the court will take action in this regard.”
It was alleged that many non-deserving job aspirants got teaching jobs through the SSC despite submitting blank papers. The High Court had asked such teachers to resign by November 8.
