Man Convicted For Forging CBSE MarksheetBy himanshu, Section Education
Submitting a fake CBSE marksheet while seeking admission to Delhi University's Hans Raj College here 12 years ago has landed a candidate in deep trouble as a local court has convicted him for cheating and forgery.
Ayush Jain (accused) was the beneficiary and if the forgery of the marksheet would have not been detected, he would have got admission in the college on the basis of fake marks, Metropolitan Magistrate Siddharth Sharma said in a recent order. Jain had in 1995 submitted a forged Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) marksheet to obtain admission in Hans Raj College here. The Principal of the college, on getting suspicious over the genuineness of the marksheet, lodged a complaint with the SHO, Maurice Nagar police station, and sent its copy to the CBSE for verification. The Joint Secretary of the CBSE, in his reply, held the marksheet to be forged and filed a complaint with the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, seeking appropriate action against Jain.
He also pointed out that the board used to give computer-generated marksheets to the candidates whereas the one submitted by Jain was found to be written with an electronic typewriter.
Earlier, Jain had testified in his defence that he was induced by a Nepali man who prepared a forged marksheet without his knowledge and he himself was a victim in the case. He further submitted that no offence of cheating could be attributed to him as he did not get admission in the college. Dismissing the defence plea, the court said it was an admitted case of Jain that to get admission into the college he used illegal means by hiring a Nepali boy and when he had signed the admission form he was supposed to know about the marks filled in the form. The accused had filled up details in the admission form, which were known to him only, added the court, while indicting Jain for his complicity in the offence. SOURCE-(TRIBUNE,08/03/07)
