    Summary The Gauhati High Court struck down Rule 5(1A) of the Assam Land Records Subordinate Service (Amendment) Rules, 2025, which excluded candidates nominated by Territorial and Autonomous Councils from a one-time recruitment opportunity for Land Records Assistant posts. The court found the exclusion unconstitutional and arbitrary, violating Articles 14 and 16 of the Indian Constitution, as it discriminated based on place of residence without any rational connection to the amendment's objective of accommodating pre-trained candidates. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
