KOLKATA: A Division Bench of the Calcutta HC rejected the verdict of (now retired) Justice Ganguly on cancelling the appointment of 32,000 primary teachers in State-run and State-aided primary schools across West Bengal. The Division Bench of Justice Tapobrata Chakraborty and Justice Reetobroto Kumar Mitra pronounced the verdict this afternoon. With todays verdict, the Mamata Banerjee government in the State heaved a sigh of relief. It comes at a crucial time when the Supreme Court invalidated appointments of around 26,000 teachers of government-sponsored and government-aided secondary and higher secondary schools across districts and cities, citing institutional corruption in recruitment tests organised by the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC). The verdict, ahead of the Bengal Assembly elections due next year, also comes as a major relief to the ruling Trinamool, hit by several corruption scandals, especially in the education sector. Expressing satisfaction with todays verdict, the chief minister, Mamata Banerjee, told reporters, I am happy with the court order and families of the teachers have been saved. The judges have handled the issue with humanity. Its not justified to move the court every now and then to cancel someones job. We give jobs, not take them away. The Bench said today, After being in service for nine years, if they are removed now, there could be an adverse impact on the families. Calcutta HC asks CBI to probe 'illegal' appointments of primary teachers in Bengal schools In 2023, Justice Ganguly, who is now a BJP MP from Tamluk in East Midnapore district, had cancelled the appointments of the 32,000 primary teachers for alleged manipulation of the recruitment process (Teachers Eligibility Test held in 2014). In his order, Justice Ganguly had asked the state government to execute a fresh recruitment process and complete it within three months. However, the division bench of Justice Subrata Talukdar and Justice Supratim Bhattacharya put an interim stay on the single bench order of cancelling the appointments and granted the State six months to complete the process of recruitment of a fresh panel. The state government moved the apex court against the Division Bench order. The apex court had upheld the stay on appointments to the 32,000 posts and sent back the case to the High Court for final hearing. Meanwhile, on 12 November, the Division Bench of Justice Tapobrata Chakraborty and Justice Reetobroto Kumar Mitra concluded the hearing in the matter. Trinamool leadership alleged that isolated incidents of mistakes, misdemeanours, negligence and crime were being projected as a complete collapse of the education system. A political issue is being created from these isolated instances. We object to that. The BJP, the CPM and a section of the Congress are involved in this, the leadership expressed.
Officials argue that a similar framework is urgently required on the banking side as well.

AI complicates crime, throws up legal challenges, says CJ
BENGALURU: We are living in times where technology is changing faster than our ability to regulate it. The rise of AI has added a new layer of complexity to cyber crimes, whether in the form of deep fake videos, identity manipulation, or automated attacks that happen without human control. Among various challenges faced by judges and advocates, investigative machinery and jurisdictional issues make it a formidable challenge to take the prosecution to a logical conclusion, said Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru. He was speaking at Lahari Advocates Forums 18th PGC Chengappa Memorial Lecture (a tribute to late PGC Chengappa, the first president of the Lahari Advocates Forum), organised at the Karnataka High Court. Courts today have been called upon to deal with entirely new forms of digital injury, and these challenges demand that both the Bench and the Bar adapt, the Chief Justice added. He also commented that younger lawyers have a tremendous opportunity as cyber crime and digital evidence are emerging fields, and those who equip themselves with technical knowledge will not only enrich their practice but also play a vital role in shaping legal responses to technology-driven offences.
KOZHIKODE: A new cyber trick is affecting the states district administrations, with fraudsters now impersonating district collectors on WhatsApp to fool subordinate officers into transferring money. What starts as a routine query about work updates quickly transforms into a cleverly crafted financial request, and multiple top officials have already found their identities misused. The latest cases emerged from Wayanad and Kasaragod, where district officials discovered WhatsApp accounts operating under the names of their respective collectors. The fraudulent profiles carried stolen display photos and used formal, authoritative language typical of official communication. Officers who received the messages said the conversations opened innocently, with questions such as Where are you now? or Any update on the work? before escalating into urgent instructions seeking money transfers. A recurring message used by the impersonators read: I need you to fund some executive prospects account on my behalf while Im busy attending an urgent meeting. I will reimburse you before the end of the day. The scammers often followed up with a request for a screenshot of the payment receipt, claiming it was needed for reimbursement and documentation. Kasargod District Collector Imbasekar K confirmed the impersonation attempt, cautioning all officers against responding to such messages. I never request fund transfers through WhatsApp. Any such message must be treated as fraudulent, he said, urging officials to verify all financial communication through official channels. Kasaragod district authorities issued a similar advisory and alerted all departments to remain vigilant. A formal cybercrime complaint has been registered, and police have begun tracing the origins of the fake accounts. In a separate but related incident, Wayanad District Collector Meghashree D R took to her official Facebook page to warn the public about a WhatsApp number impersonating her. The number, using her name and photograph, has reportedly been sending messages to various individuals over the past few days, requesting immediate financial assistance. Following preliminary probe, the Wayanad cyber police traced the WhatsApp number to Vietnam. Officials confirmed that the number was registered as a business account, and records indicate the user joined WhatsApp only in October, a detail raising suspicion that the profile may have been created specifically for the fraud. Police sources said a case would be registered shortly under relevant sections of cyber fraud and identity impersonation. Cyber security experts have noted that impersonation scams involving top government officials are currently on the rise. Fraudsters often exploit hierarchical structures and urgency-based communication to manipulate officers into acting quickly without double-checking. Police have urged government employees and the public to avoid responding to unsolicited WhatsApp messages requesting money, verify communication through official phone numbers or email, and report suspicious messages immediately to cybercrime authorities
After Delhi blast connection, Nuh linked to MP cybercrimes
BHOPAL: Haryanas Nuh district, which is under glare as an operational base of the white-collar terror module linked to 10/11 Delhi blast case, has also come out as the nucleus of Madhya Pradeshs biggest-ever inter-state cybercrime ring. MP polices cybercrime unit has traced masterminds of the racket to Nuh. The cyber fraud ring involved over 1000 bank accounts of people in Vindhya and Mahakoshal region of MP, being used as mule accounts to park and circulate fraud money. More than 25 people from MP, Haryana and Bihar have been arrested and charge-sheeted. As the investigations progress, its becoming clear that operatives based in Nuh are the masterminds of the racket. They sourced SIM cards and mule accounts mostly from MP and used them for their inter-state racket, said a MP police involved in the probe. The men in Nuh operated an illegal call centre at a flat in Gurugram, which was used to make calls to people for duping them. The SIM cards, sourced by operatives in MP and other states, reached the kingpins through middlemen based in Patna. The mule bank accounts served as the pipeline through which more than Rs 3,000 crore was routed. The funds were actually proceeds of cybercrimes committed in various parts of the country, religious charity money as well as money from unknown sources suspected to have been used possibly for terror funding. Large sum of money was routed through mule accounts to the Middle East, the officer added. The fraudsters also operated shell companies in Hyderabad and parts of Maharashtra. The 25-plus men arrested over the last 11 months have been charge-sheeted. Now we are going to zero in on the racket masterminds in Nuh, he said. Years back it was Jamtara in Jharkhand, but crackdown saw newer hotspots in West Bengal. Over last couple of years Nuh and adjoining Rajasthan districts have emerged as the cybercrime hub, SP (cybercrime cell) Pranay Nagwanshi said.

Rajasthan HC orders 15 per cent female drivers on ride apps, issues 35 directives to curb cybercrime
JAIPUR: The Rajasthan High Court has directed the state government to substantially increase the number of women drivers on app-based ride-booking platforms, ordering that at least 15% of all such drivers must be women within the next six months, with the target rising to 25% over the following two to three years. The court also stated that ride-hailing apps should give women passengers the option to choose a woman driver as their first preference. The directive is part of a comprehensive set of 35 instructions issued by Justice Ravi Chirania, who described cybercrime as an unstoppable and rapidly escalating threat. The court has asked the government to establish a Rajasthan Cyber Crime Control Centre, similar to the Union governments Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). It noted that although the post of Director General, Cyber Crimes, was created in 2024, the state still does not have an adequate system to investigate or respond to cyber-related offences. The order came while the court was hearing bail pleas of two men from Gujarat, accused of posing as law-enforcement officers and cheating an elderly couple of 2.02 crore earlier this year. Both are currently lodged in Jodhpur Central Jail, and their bail applications were rejected. Among the major directives, the High Court instructed telecom authorities to introduce strict verification before issuing a fourth SIM card to any individual. It also asked the government to monitor dead or inactive bank accounts closely and to redo their KYC through physical verification. Banks and financial institutions have also been told to suspend or deny internet banking services to accounts flagged as suspicious or to those that have recorded less than 50,000 in annual transactions over the past three years. The court further ordered that all gig workers operating in Rajasthan be brought under a formal registration system with the office of the Director General, Cyber Crimes. From 1 February next year, gig workers will be required to wear a uniform or follow a dress code, carrying a QR-coded ID card, which they must present whenever demanded by authorities or customers. The court also made it mandatory for all gig workers to be registered with the state Transport Department and to operate using commercial number plates. Additionally, the sale and purchase of second-hand digital devices will come under tighter scrutiny, and schools have been asked to implement a clear standard operating procedure regarding mobile phone usage for students up to Class 9 or those below 16 years of age.
