The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed the West Bengal Chief Secretary to decide by May 2 on the grant of sanction for the prosecution of former public servants arrested by the CBI in the 2016 school job case, which saw the cancellation of over 25,500 appointments. A Division Bench said in the event the Chief Secretary failed to comply with this order, the court would be constrained to initiate appropriate proceedings against him.
