    Case Summary: WP(C)/5334/2025 - Kitusmita Barman v. APSC The Gauhati High Court allowed petitioner Kitusmita Barman's challenge to her rejection from legal service examinations. APSC had barred her for allegedly not submitting a Certificate of Practice, but the court found this grievance moot after she submitted it during interviews. The court directed APSC to reconsider her eligibility by counting her legal practice from her enrollment date (February 20, 2021) rather than from obtaining her Certificate of Practice, aligning with Supreme Court precedent that experience begins at provisional registration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
