Over 23 lakh candidates had appeared in the examinations for the 24,000 job vacancies in 2016. It was alleged that most candidates were given jobs after wrongly evaluating the OMR Sheets.
The bench noted that there was no clarity which of the 23 lakh sheets were evaluated properly and therefore, ordered re-evaluation of all the sheets of the recruitment entrance exams.
Further, the WBSSC was ordered to initiate a fresh recruitment process.
The Court also ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to continue with the investigation into the recruitment scam.
