Legal Hurdles Possible in Bengal School Job Exam
West Bengal is holding exams to hire new teachers.
However, if any teachers who are known to have paid for their jobs manage to take the exam, the whole process could get stuck in court.
The courts don't want these 'tainted' teachers to be hired.
The exams are scheduled for September 7th and 14th.
Written exam for teaching jobs in Bengal schools faces legal hurdles.
The exam follows the termination of 25,753 teaching staff by the Supreme Court.
