APSC language paper case: Gauhati High Court conducts final hearing

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: The Gauhati High Court on Thursday conducted the final hearing in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) language paper case and reserved the judgement.

The Assam Cabinet had taken a decision of abolishing the qualifying language paper for the State civil services examinations. Various petitions were filed in the Gauhati High Court against this move of the government. It was claimed that withdrawal of the Assamese language paper from the APSC exams would benefit the non-Assamese speaking people from outside Assam.

The court conducted the final hearing in the case on Thursday and reserved the judgment. The results of the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2020 conducted by the APSC have not been declared as yet as the matter was sub judice.
