Calcutta HC dismisses Bengal education minister daughter's job, asks her to return salary since Nov 2018

Calcutta High Court on Friday dismissed the employment of West Bengal Minister of State for Education Paresh Chandra Adhikari's daughter in a government-aided school and asked her to return the salary she had drawn during her tenure as a teacher. The single bench of Justice Avijit Gangopadhyay directed Ankita Adhikari to deposit the salary paid to her since November 2018 in two instalments with the registrar. The high court was hearing a petition filed by a candidate who claimed that she was deprived of the position despite having secured higher marks than Adhikari's daughter in the recruitment examination.
