The Supreme Court on Monday provided significant relief to the West Bengal government by overturning the Calcutta High Court’s order directing a CBI probe into the creation of supernumerary teaching posts in state-run schools. The move comes as part of the larger controversy surrounding the state’s school recruitment scam. A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud clarified that the apex court’s decision is limited strictly to the issue of creating these additional posts. The court noted that while the Calcutta High Court's order went beyond the core subject of its original challenge, the main recruitment-related CBI investigation would remain unaffected. The West Bengal government had earlier approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court's decision, arguing that the CBI probe into the creation of posts was unwarranted and outside the scope of the original case.
