Summary The Gauhati High Court found that the Commission of Inquiry violated the statutory rights of petitioners under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, while conducting inquiries into Combined Competitive Examinations 2013 and 2014. The court ruled that the Commission's findings cannot be used to initiate or continue disciplinary proceedings against the petitioners, though the State may proceed with such proceedings based on other evidence. The court directed that departmental authorities conduct periodic reviews of suspension orders and allow the State 45 days to either provide additional documents/witnesses to the petitioners or drop existing proceedings to initiate fresh ones.
