JUDGMENT SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court set aside disciplinary proceedings initiated against multiple government employees based on reports from a One-Man Commission of Inquiry investigating malpractices in civil service exams (CCE 2013 and 2014). Key Decision: The Commission violated the statutory rights of the employees under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952, which mandate that persons whose conduct is being inquired into must be given reasonable opportunity to be heard, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and be represented by legal counsel. The findings in the Commission's reports cannot be used against the petitioners in disciplinary or criminal proceedings. Further Direction: The State may continue disciplinary proceedings only using materials independent of the Commission's findings, with 45 days to provide new evidence or drop proceedings. Suspension orders remain in effect but must be periodically reviewed, with failure to review resulting in automatic reinstatement to non-sensitive posts within 45 days.
