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.
