Calcutta High Court (Appellate Side), Constitution Writ Jurisdiction — WPA 303 of 2024, Chandra Sekhar Bag v. The State of West Bengal & Ors.; order dated 14.08.2024 by Amrita Sinha, J. The petitioner claimed parity with the petitioners in WPA 3268 of 2015 (Sourav Naskar & Ors.). A co-ordinate Bench had decided a bunch of writ petitions on similar facts by order dated 9 April 2024, modified on 12 April 2024, holding each petitioner entitled to appointment as successful empanelled candidates in the recruitment process of 2009 re-conducted in 2012 under Howrah DPSC as directed in the order dated 9 June 2023; that order was passed on very special facts and was made applicable to writ petitions filed till 31 March 2024. The instant petition, filed on 5 January 2024 for district Howrah, fell within that window and was disposed of in the same terms, the respondents being directed to act accordingly.
