casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court held that two Commission of Inquiry reports investigating the Combined Competitive Examinations (CCE) 2013 and 2014 by the Assam Public Service Commission violated the statutory rights of beneficiary candidates under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952. The reports found that candidates received illegal mark enhancements through manipulation by examination officials, but failed to grant candidates the procedural safeguards required by law—specifically, they did not provide proper notice, opportunity to present evidence, or right to cross-examine witnesses. The court ruled that findings in these reports cannot be used to initiate or continue disciplinary proceedings against the affected candidates, striking down the allegations sections of show-cause notices while allowing the state to pursue discipline based on other evidence outside the reports.
