The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Calcutta High Court order directing the Central Bureau of Investigation to look into appointments made by the West Bengal School Service Commission to teaching and non-teaching posts in 2016, Live Law reported.

A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, however, declined to stay a High Court order to cancel over 25,000 appointments made by the commission.

The Supreme Court was hearing petitions filed by the West Bengal government and the state School Service Commission challenging the judgment delivered by the Calcutta High Court on April 22.
