Thank you for reading this post, don’t forget to subscribe!
In the SSC job scam case, the Calcutta High Court asked the CBI to reveal the exact source of its information on alleged job sales. “CBI must show the source of job scam info,” the court said.
The Calcutta High Court has a history of scrutinizing the progress of the CBI investigation in the SSC corruption case, but this time, the judge took a more direct approach.
The court demanded clarity regarding the basis of the CBI’s allegations about job sales in Work Education and Physical Education, specifically asking for the source documents that informed these claims.
This marks a vital shift in the SSC corruption investigation.
During a hearing in Justice Amrita Sinha’s courtroom on Tuesday, the CBI’s counsel was questioned about how they acquired their information regarding job sales at the upper primary level for these positions.
Justice Sinha stated clearly,
“The CBI must present the document to the court from which they received the information about job sales.”
This directive highlights the court’s close oversight of the investigation and its refusal to accept any lack of transparency.
A critical issue arose during the proceedings: the CBI has yet to conduct a formal investigation into recruitment at the upper primary level.
The court challenged how the charge sheet related to the primary teacher recruitment scam could reference job sales at the upper primary level without an FIR or permission to investigate.
As the judge pointed out,
“How can information be presented in a charge sheet for a matter where there is no FIR and no permission to investigate?”
This raises serious concerns about the CBI’s jurisdiction and the integrity of its procedures.
Additionally, the School Service Commission (SSC) has received a new directive from the court. The court ordered that the merit list published for appointments in Work Education and Physical Education at the upper primary level be submitted for review.
This measure aims to ensure transparency in the recruitment process.
The court has set a deadline of July 1st for the CBI to submit its source of information and the relevant documents.
The next hearing is scheduled for the same day, and it remains to be seen if the CBI will meet the court’s requirements within the given timeframe and how the case will progress based on their submission.
This development not only heightens the pressure on the CBI but also renews hope for justice among job aspirants.
