The High Court of Meghalaya had no other option but to cancel the entire appointment of LP school teachers since the scam was of a gigantic proportion. “It had been a matter of such inconceivable black deeds with white fluid where the entire process could only be cancelled as being fraudulent,” the division bench of Meghalaya High Court had said in its 105-page order.

Even a glance at the outline foregoing would make it evident that serious issues, concerning the fairness and legality of the process of selection to the post of Assistant Teacher in Government Lower Primary Schools in the State of Meghalaya are involved and the entire matter is to be re-examined in the light of the two reports made by the CBI and the HLSC coupled with the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties.
