casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Gauhati High Court Judgment The Gauhati High Court held that the Commission of Inquiry violated the statutory rights of petitioners under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 during investigations into malpractices in the APSC Combined Competitive Examinations 2013 and 2014. While the Court did not quash the inquiry reports, it ruled that all findings, observations and recommendations against the petitioners cannot be used to initiate, sustain, or support any disciplinary or criminal proceedings against them. The disciplinary proceedings may continue only if the state provides independent evidence unrelated to the inquiry reports within 45 days, with petitioners given opportunity to submit additional defense.
