The hearing on the appeals moved by the state primary education board and some teachers against Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay’s order cancelling the appointment of 32,000-odd teachers ended at the high court on Wednesday.
The division bench of Justice Subrata Talukdar and Justice Supratim Bhattacharya, which was hearing the appeals, adjourned the verdict till 1pm on May 19.
Appearing for the board, advocate Lakshmi Gupta submitted that the contentions made by Justice Gangopadhyay in his verdict were incorrect.
The lawyer said all the appointments were in compliance with rules.
Gupta also contradicted Justice Gangopadhyay’s observations that there was an error in the process of conducting aptitude tests of the candidates.
Appearing for the candidates who had allegedly been deprived of jobs, advocate Tarunjyoti Tiwari tried to show that the candidates with lesser marks than his clients were given jobs.
