    The 32,000 teachers said they were recruited in Feb 2017 as part of the 2016 recruitment process and worked for eight years. But a single bench order in 2022 scrapped their appointment and directed the West Bengal Board of Primary Education to start a fresh recruitment process within four months of the order. On Sept 4, 2023, the division bench of the Calcutta HC stayed the termination order by the single bench.
