In a huge relief to the Mamata Banerjee government, the Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to overturn the Calcutta High Court's decision to order a CBI probe into the creation of supernumerary or additional posts for Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruitment back in 2022.
The bench, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, observed that there was no need for judicial intervention as the additional posts were created by the Bengal education department only after necessary consultations and also with the approval of the Governor.
