    Case Summary: WP(C)/5292/2025 - Arindam Baruah v. APSC The Gauhati High Court allowed advocate Arindam Baruah's petition challenging his rejection from legal officer recruitment on grounds of non-submission of Certificate of Practice. The court directed APSC to reconsider his candidacy by counting his legal practice from his enrollment date (January 10, 2020) rather than from when he obtained his Certificate of Practice, aligning with Supreme Court precedent that experience should be reckoned from provisional registration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
