casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court declared that a one-man Commission of Inquiry on Combined Competitive Examinations (2013 and 2014) violated petitioners' statutory rights under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, as the Commission failed to afford petitioners reasonable opportunity to be heard in the actual inquiry and denied them rights to cross-examine witnesses or engage counsel. While refusing to quash the reports, the court barred their use in initiating or continuing disciplinary proceedings against the petitioners. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
