Orders
The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Rathindra Nath Chatterjee and others, who challenged the non-consideration of their prior teaching experience for mark allocation in a recruitment examination. The court found that the petitioners failed to provide valid certificates meeting the notification's requirements—most documents were issued beyond the July 21, 2025 cut-off date, and the one document within the deadline was issued by a headmaster rather than the designated District Inspector of Schools, rendering all petitioners ineligible for the 10 marks for experience. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
