SSC Case: State Retracts Job Return Deadline Extension Amid High Court Challenge

• The state government initially extended the deadline for 'eligible' SSC job losers to return to their old government jobs from December 31, 2025, to August 31, 2026.
• This extension has now been temporarily suspended and retracted due to a case filed in the Calcutta High Court.
• The Supreme Court had previously directed the state to facilitate the return of these teachers to their former positions.
• While some candidates sought the extension, another group has challenged it in the High Court, citing discrimination.
• The ongoing process to reinstate over 4300 'eligible' teachers now faces complications, impacting those who hadn't returned by the original deadline.
