Mamta Banerjee's two ministers trapped in SSC scam

The Calcutta High Court's important decision on Wednesday came amid the ongoing controversy over the appointment of Group D, Group C and Class IX and 10 teachers through the School Service Commission of Bengal. Two important ministers of Mamta government are badly caught in this matter. 

A division bench of Justice Subrata Talukdar and Justice AK Mukherjee termed the irregularities in the appointment of teaching, non-teaching staff in the 2016 panel of the School Service Commission as a public scam. The division bench said that the decision of single bench judge Abhijit Ganguly is not wrong and there is no need to interfere with his orders.

The single bench had entrusted the CBI to investigate the rigging in these appointments, against which the state government had filed a petition in a two-judge bench. Now the division bench also upheld the decision of the single bench and directed to conduct an investigation of the rigging in the appointment from the CBI itself.

Challenging the direction of the single bench, former state education minister Partha Chatterjee once again appealed in a division bench of Justice Harish Tandon and Justice Rabindranath Samant. To this, the Bench said that the appeal has not been made as per the rules, that is why they cannot hear the matter like this. After this, Parth's last hope also ended, because there was no relief from the High Court.
