"No CBI Inquiry Into Teacher Posts": Supreme Court Relief To Bengal Government
The Supreme Court has said there will be no CBI inquiry into the Bengal government's creation of extra posts to accommodate the estimated 25,000 teaching and non-teaching staff sacked from the state's School Service Commission after the court voided the selection process.
A Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna-led bench overruled the Calcutta High Court, pointing out courts are barred from investigating cabinet decisions and that the order was incorrect. The court was hearing a petition from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government challenging that High Court order.
