Justice Sachin Datta dismissed the plea which alleged that Nasiar’s law degree was fake and forged.
The Court said that, at present, there was no basis to accede to the request for Nasiar’s removal.
“At present, however, there is no basis to accede to the prayers made by the petitioner in the present petition qua the respondent no.3 [Sanjeev Nasiar]. The petition qua the respondent no.3 is, therefore, dismissed,” the Court ordered.
However, the Court ordered the BCD to send Nasiar’s documents and certificates to the Bar Council of India (BCI) which can conduct an inquiry and take action if any wrongdoing is found.
“The BCD is, accordingly, directed to provide the requisite documents/ certificates/records to the BCI. Needless to say, it would be open for the BCI to conduct inquiry/take action, as it may deem appropriate, in any event of any wrongdoing being uncovered on the part of the concerned university,” the High Court directed.
