24.08.2026 Court No.13 Item No. 35 pk MAT 1996 of 2025 IA No: CAN 1 of 2026 Sova Rani Mondal @ Sova Rani Halder Vs. State of West Bengal and Ors. Mr. Sudipta Dasgupta, Mr. Arka Nandi, Mr. Arindam Shit … For the appellant. Mr. Sahasrangshu Bhattacharya, Ld. AGP Ms. Maru Dutta, Ms. Sneha Chatterjee … For the State. Ms. Koyeli Bhattacharyya, Mr. Bibek Dutta, Mr. Manas Bhattacharya … For the WBBSE. Mr. Kanak Kiran Bandyopadhyay … For the WBCSSC. 1. The appeal is directed against a judgment and order dated 19.09.2025 passed by a Single Bench of this Court. By the said order the Single Bench while dealing with an application filed by the President of the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and also hearing of CPAN 1163 of 20925 being an application alleging contempt of the Court’s order dated 22.01.2025 recalled the said order dated 22.01.2025 and dismissed the writ petition. 2. The brief facts relevant to the case are that the writ petitioner participated in the 12th RLST for recruitment to the post of Assistant Teachers in the government 2 school in the State. The writ petitioner found that she was not given six marks towards training. A Co-ordinate Bench had directed such marks to be given and consequential benefits to the appellant to follow. 3. The School Service Commission (SSC) recommended the case of the petitioner for appointment but sent the same to the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. The Commission was required to send such recommendation to the school-in-question. 4. The writ petitioner, aggrieved that no appointment order was issued by the Board, approached the Single Bench by way of WPA 517 of 2025. The writ petition being WPA 517 of 2025 was disposed of directing the Board to issue letter of appointment. Such order was passed on 22.01.2025. 5. The Board found that complying with the order dated 22.01.2025 was not possible. It was found that the writ petitioner had suppressed the factum of a charge sheet filed against her in connection with FIR No. 533 of 2022 dated 25.11.2022 of Dholahat Police Station under Sections 341/325/354/379/506/34 of the IPC. It further appears from the records that the writ petitioner/appellant obtained bail upon surrender before the Trial Court on 12.12.2022. 6. On 25.11.2022 Dholahat Police filed charge sheet being C. S. No. 538 of 2022 dated 29.12.2022, inter 3 alia, against the appellant under Sections 341/323/354/506/34 of the IPC. 7. The writ petitioner had filed WPA 517 of 2025 in which the charge sheet and entire criminal proceedings were suppressed. It also transpires that as on the date of application before the Board and in the first round of litigation, the criminal proceeding was suppressed against the column as to whether the petitioner was charge sheeted or convicted. The appellant said that no such proceeding was pending. 8. The Single Bench while considering CAN 1 of 2026 upon noticing the suppression, recalled its order dated 22.01.2025 and dismissed WPA 517 of 2025. Consequently CPAN 1163 of 2025 was also dismissed. 9. Mr. Dasgupta, learned advocate for the appellant would argue that notice of the charge sheet was never given to his client in terms of the mandatory requirement of Cr. P. C. 10. This Court, however, notes that the appellant on bail was represented throughout before the learned Magistrate. His knowledge of the proceedings and filing of the charge sheet must therefore necessarily be deemed. Non service of formal charge sheet on her might lead to other inferences in criminal proceeding. However such inferences can not benefit the writ petitioner in respect of any employment with the State. 4 The argument that the charges are minor could only have been considered if the appellant had made a true disclosure of the same. 11. In the light of the above discussions, this Court is of the view that the impugned judgment dated 19.09.2025 passed by the Single Bench calls for no interference. 12. Accordingly, MAT 1996 of 2005 is dismissed. Consequently, connected pending application being CAN 1 of 2026 is also dismissed. 13. There will be no order as to costs. 14. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Rajasekhar Mantha, J.) (Anuj Singh, J.)
