India, Aug. 29 -- The Supreme Court has granted a week to the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) to provide the list of teachers whose recruitment it set aside while quashing a 2016 recruitment process, saying that fraud and manipulation vitiated it.

The fresh order was passed on a petition from the teachers of Classes 11-12 declared eligible to appear for the fresh recruitment process. The petitioners challenged a May 30 WBSSC notification, calling it "ambiguous". They alleged that the state was permitting the tainted candidates, who are ineligible to take the fresh test.

A bench of justices Sanjay Kumar and Satish Chandra Sharma on Thursday asked the state whether it had disclosed the list of tainted candidates.
