Guwahati HC outraged over issuance of fake certificates in Agartala

Agartala, Jan 7(UNI) The Agartala bench of Guwahati High Court today expressed displeasure over the administrative procedure against fake certificate holders, working under different public sectors.

Announcing the decision over such a case filed against a retired secretarial employee of the state administration by the West Tripura District Magistrate and Collector, Justice A B Pal said it was shocking to see that a certificate had been cancelled after a period of 30 years, without taking any action against the issuing authority.

In November last, West Tripura DM filed a case against one Sudhir Sarkar, alleging that he had produced fake Schedule Caste Certificate, which was issued in 1974. He had taken a voluntary retirement.

According to the government records, as many as 91 cases of fake SC certificate holders have already been detected, who had been absorbed in various government departments.
