Hours after being removed from the protest site by the police, teaching job aspirants fi🐎led 🎃a petition before the Calcutta High Court challenging a single bench order that imposed Section 144 of the CrPC at the venue.
The candidates, in the petition 📖on Friday, claimed that they have a right to hold a peaceful protest.
Firdaus Shamim, the lawyer for the petitioners, said on Saturday that the appeal against the single bench o🤡rder will be taken up for hearing on ♚October 28 by a division bench.
Hundreds of candidates were staging a sit-in, earlier in the week, outside the West Bengal Board of Primary Education office at Karuna🅰moyee in Salt Lake, near here, claiming that they were 💝denied jobs in state-sponsored and –aided schools despite having cleared Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) way back in 2014.
Some had even resorted to hunger strike to press 𒁃for their demand.
