Partha Chatterjee Granted Bail in School Jobs Scam
A former minister named Partha Chatterjee, accused of taking money for school jobs, was given bail.
The court believes he is unlikely to interfere since he no longer holds office.
Although granted bail, he likely won't be released immediately.
A previous Supreme Court order and the upcoming holidays mean he must wait for the courts to reopen.
The CBI investigated the case, which involved illegal appointments in West Bengal schools.
The investigation revealed cash and documents.
Chatterjee has been behind bars for over three years.
Calcutta High Court granted bail to Partha Chatterjee in teacher recruitment case.
The case concerns the cash-for-jobs scam in West Bengal schools.
Chatterjee has been in jail for over three years.
Formalities may delay his release until after the Durga Puja festival.
