The Calcutta High Court has extended the injunction against the West Bengal government until January 30, maintaining the halt on financial assistance for non-teaching staff who lost their jobs following a Supreme Court ruling.
Justice Amrita Sinha stated that the extension of the injunction was granted at the request of the lawyer representing the state government. The court ordered that the interim order's duration be extended until January 30 or until further notice, whichever comes first.
In an interim order issued on June 20, Justice Sinha had previously prohibited the state government from implementing a scheme to provide financial relief to non-teaching staff until September 26 or until further orders.
In response to the Supreme Court's directive, three petitions were filed in court opposing the state government's decision to grant ₹25,000 to each Group C employee and ₹20,000 to each Group D employee who lost their jobs.
Over 25,000 teaching and non-teaching staff in schools run and aided by the West Bengal government lost their jobs due to the Supreme Court's ruling, which found the 2016 selection process to be flawed.
