NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the West Bengal government to let the untainted assistant teachers appointed through the botched up recruitment to continue to remain at work in light of the interest of students of class 9-12.
The apex court, however, said that no non-teaching staff, tainted or otherwise teachers would be allowed to work.
The top court also directed the West Bengal government and education board and commission to file affidavit by May 31 enclosing advertisement for fresh recruitment of teachers and undertaking that process of selection would be completed by December 31.
No one allowed to continue as teachers, would get any benefit in the fresh exam, the top court said.
