Kerala University comes across 18 fake certificates in a month

October 3, 2013

Kerala_UniversityThiruvananthapuram, Oct 3: Kerala University has stumbled upon over half a dozen fake degree certificates and over a dozen fake pre-degree certificates in a month.

It's not the first time that the university came across such fake certificates. It receives a good number of applications for verification of various certificates every month and many such certificates prove bogus on detailed verification. However, it has not been able to identify those holding the bogus certificates or those operating the fake certificate rackets.

University pro-vice-chancellor N Veeramanikandan said, "I've just completed a month in my post. During this brief period, I have come across at least six or seven cases of fake certificates."

Most enquiries for certificate verification come from agencies and companies outside the state. "In some cases, even the fake signature of VCs doesn't match with their original term in the office. We have not been able to take any stern action as the chances of identifying fake certificate rackets and those who obtain the same are remote," he said.

Controller of examinations K Madhukumar said the university was not in a position to seek police action even though it has come across a large number of fake certificates. He said at least 15 pre-degree certificates that came for verification were found fake a few days ago.

"Whenever the university confirms that a certificate it received for verification is fake, we inform the applicant about the same. We also request them to pass the original address of the certificate holder so that we can initiate action. However, no agencies or companies have so far heeded our request. We can't approach the police without the real name or address of the fake certificate holder. We will have to find other options," he said.

The university had, two years ago, introduced an online system for certification verification. The verification is completed in 15 days if applied online while it could take a month in case of manual submission.

New Delhi, Jul 3: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea challenging Karnataka government's decision to impose a 25 percent domicile reservation in the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru.

A division bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Subramonium Prasad observed that the impugned law is passed by the State of Karnataka, and the respondent university is also situated in Karnataka.

The court granted liberty to the petitioner to move the appropriate forum with their grievances.

The Karnataka Assembly had passed the National Law School of India (Amendment) Act, 2020 in March this year, which provided a 25 per cent horizontal reservation for students of Karnataka in the NLSIU.

The High Court observed that the main contesting parties in the present case were the NLSIU and the Karnataka Government. As the court did not show any interest in entertaining the plea, the petitioner withdrew the plea.
