APSC Scam: HC Directs Assam Govt to Submit BK Sharma Commission Report

The Assam Government has been directed to submit Justice Biplab Kumar Sharma's report on the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) scam in the high court, reports said. 

This directive to the state government was issued by the Gauhati High Court while hearing a case filed by two suspended tax officers. As per reports, the two suspended officers Priyanka Deka and Jayanta Doley had challenged their suspension orders and filed a case at the high court.
