casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Gauhati High Court ruled that the One-Man Commission of Inquiry violated the statutory rights of government employees under Sections 8B and 8C of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952 by failing to follow proper procedures when inquiring into their conduct regarding anomalies in civil service examinations (CCE 2013 and 2014). The court held that findings in the Commission's reports cannot be used to initiate or sustain disciplinary proceedings against the petitioners. However, the state may proceed with disciplinary action based on other evidence, and disciplinary proceedings can continue if the state provides new materials within 45 days. The court directed periodic reviews of suspension orders, emphasizing that prolonged suspensions violate constitutional rights. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
