The Calcutta High Court on Friday restrained the West Bengal government from implementing a scheme until 26th September to provide monetary support to non-teaching staff who lost their jobs following a Supreme Court judgment that deemed the selection process flawed, reported news agency PTI.

The court had on 9th June reserved judgment on the petitions, which opposed the payment of Rs 25,000 each to Group C and Rs 20,000 each to Group D employees, who lost their jobs due to the apex court's order, by the state.

In an interim order, Justice Amrita Sinha restrained the state government from giving any effect or further effect to the scheme for providing monetary relief to the non-teaching staff until 26th September or until further order, whichever is earlier.
