The Gauhati High Court on Thursday accepted the bail plea of one of the accused in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) recruitment scam.

As per initial reports, the high court accepted the bail plea of Shahjahan Sarkar, one of the accused gazetted officials who came under the scanner as the Assam government intensified its stance against the accused.

According to the information received, due to technical mistakes in the argument put forward by the representatives of the government in the court, the court had to grant bail to Sarkar.

The investigating teams could not produce the case diary before the court which led to the court accepting the bail plea.

It may be noted that the SIT formed to probe the matter had arrested Shahjahan Sarkar just a few days ago.
