It states that the final selection of the candidates will be subject to the outcome of the petitions Pankaj I am following Datta, counsel for the petitioner in a writ petition filed by bondita borahi,
High Court heard a public interest litigation filed by Siddhartha Sarma and three writ petitions filed separately Navin Kumar Ray, Bonani Priya Rajkonwar and Bondita Bora.
Earlier in December last year, the court had passed two consecutive orders in this matter. On December 10 last year, the court was hearing writ petitions challenging the APSC CCE rules, which made the qualifying language paper mandatory in some districts. It directed the commission to conduct the CCE (Mains) Examination, 2020 without language paper.
A week later, the court heard a PIL by Sarma challenging the state government’s decision and sought a direction to the responding authorities to strictly adhere to the Assam Official Language Act, 1960. It asked the commission not to conduct the examination without the permission of the court.
