casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Court's Decision The Gauhati High Court quashed the use of a One-Man Commission's reports against employees selected in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) combined competitive exams for 2013 and 2014, finding the commission violated statutory procedural safeguards under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952. The court ruled that while the reports cannot form the basis for disciplinary action against the petitioners, the government may proceed with departmental proceedings based on other materials if available, with the petitioners granted 45 days to file additional defenses if new evidence is introduced.
