casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court declared that the One Man Commission investigating irregularities in APSC examinations (2013 and 2014) violated petitioners' rights under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 by failing to provide fair hearing and cross-examination opportunities. Consequently, the court prohibited use of the Commission's findings against the petitioners in disciplinary or criminal proceedings while permitting the State to pursue disciplinary action using independent evidence within 45 days. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
