Summary The Gauhati High Court ruled that the one-man Commission of Inquiry violated the constitutional rights of petitioners under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 by failing to provide proper procedural safeguards during inquiries into alleged malpractices in civil service examinations. The court held that while the Commission's reports cannot be used against the petitioners in disciplinary or criminal proceedings, the state may pursue disciplinary action based on other independent evidence. Additionally, the court directed periodic reviews of suspension orders within 45 days to ensure compliance with Article 21 of the Constitution.
