SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court ruled that the Commission of Inquiry investigating irregularities in Assam Public Service Commission's 2013 and 2014 exams violated petitioners' statutory rights under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 by failing to grant them proper opportunity to produce defense evidence and cross-examine witnesses. The Court declared findings against the petitioners in the Commission's reports cannot be used to initiate or continue disciplinary proceedings, but allowed the State to continue disciplinary action based on other materials if provided within 45 days, with petitioners receiving opportunity to respond.
