casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY The Gauhati High Court held that the Commission of Inquiry investigating APSC Combined Competitive Examinations 2013 and 2014 violated Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 by failing to provide procedural safeguards to petitioners whose conduct was being inquired into. The court ruled that findings and observations from these reports touching the petitioners' reputations cannot be used to initiate or continue disciplinary proceedings, though the State may proceed with such proceedings using independent evidence within 45 days if it chooses to do so. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
