Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India dismissed a batch of petitions filed by about 360 teaching and non-teaching staff of madrasas in India — West Bengal, challenging the denial of regularisation and payment under the state government's grant-in-aid scheme. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih examined 13 test cases and found none meritorious, leading to dismissal of all petitions. The dispute stems from the India — West Bengal Madrasah Service Commission Act, 2008, which was struck down by the India — Calcutta High Court in 2014 and upheld by the division bench in 2015. The Supreme Court upheld the Act in 2020 and later constituted a committee in 2023 to examine appointment validity, which found appointments invalid. The employees challenged the committee's findings, but the Supreme Court rejected their claims.
