West Bengal School Staff Recruitment Scam : Live Updates From Supreme Court Hearing

CJI: when you scan the data, should you be keeping a copy to yourself while giving to the other side? there is hardly any time gap between marking and scanning, it happened simultaneously, so you should have retained the data to yourself

Gupta: when CBI took up matter, it took custody our server which doesn't contain mirror images

Gupta: original OMR not there, but two sets of data there - (1) NYSA scanned and prepared OMR sheets, no job was given to data scan, the fact that NYSA hired data scan to sit and scan in the office of SSC was not informed to us

Gupta: it is not an affidavit of the commission that we maintained mirror images.....data base of NYSA was also taken into consideration

Gupta : there are 26 Lakh candidates in each batch of exam, exams are held time to time, so impossible to store all OMR sheets....no disputes arose till 2021

CJI: (noting from the written submission) the SSC did scan the omr sheets

Dwivedi: when specific number of candidates have been identified, then why should we throw out the entire 24000, keeping in mind that the petitions have been filed after 2-3 years

Dwivedi: we didn't appoint anybody, the appointment is subject to HC approval

CJI: details of all OMR sheets of candidates appeared were found in server, or some were missing?
