269 Primary Teacher Name List
The board had responded by saying that there was something wrong with a question in that year’s (2017) TET exam. But the Calcutta High Court asked why the rest of the candidates did not receive that extra mark. The judge also remarked that the litigants were able to prove the allegations of corruption in the Primary TET which has resulted in a CBI inquiry.
The board formed the second panel on July 6, 2016, and appointed a total of 269 people. The beginning of this case is centered on that incident. Several candidates, including Ramesh Mali and Bithika Adak, approached the High Court in 2019 challenging the legitimacy of the entire panel. At the hearing of the case on the same day, the lawyer of the board Lakshmi Gupta said that the board decided to increase the number of candidates by 1 with the approval of the education department as the question was wrong in 2014 TET. As a result, 269 more succeeded.

The Calcutta High Court has directed the CBI to probe the alleged irregularities in the appointments of 269 teachers in the State-run primary schools. Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay in his order on Monday directed president of the WB Board of Primary Education Manik Bhattacharya and the Secretary to appear before the agency.
“In view of the illegality committed in respect of the second panel (termed as Additional Panel, by the Secretary of the Board), which is wholly illegal and giving illegal appointment to 269 candidates by a queer method unknown to law, I direct the Central Bureau of Investigation (‘CBI’, for short) to start investigation by registering a case immediately against the Board,” the order had stated.<SU>The Court said that the panel was illegal and that the salaries of these teachers working in various schools of the state be stopped and that they be disallowed from entering their respective places of work.
The petitioner had approached the Court alleging that the 269 candidates were given an additional one number (marks) for a wrong question out of around 23 lakh aspirants in the Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) in 2014. Justice Gangopadhyay had directed the CBI to investigate at least ten cases of alleged illegalities in the appointment of teaching and non-teaching staff by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education in State run schools.
In his order on Monday, Justice Gangopadhyay had alleged that Kolkata Police or State Police are controlled by some politically and otherwise influential persons and it is impossible for them to investigate the corruption in this matter.
“Though the police force of this city and of this State is competent enough to investigate such corruption and though I am satisfied about their capability I cannot give the responsibility of investigation of this corruption, prima facie case of which has been established, upon Kolkata Police or State Police as because they are controlled by some politically and otherwise influential persons and it is impossible for them to investigate the corruption in this matter in a fair and unbiased manner,” Justice Gangopadhyay said in the order.
