Hence, as per this report, the marksheets and degree of BSc were found to be forged,” it was pointed out.This, prima facie, established that Tomar by “means of false representation” and “forged marksheets and degree” also claimed to be a graduate in BSc, the court said. And, in turn, on the basis of the forged provisional LLB certificate, Tomar claimed to be a law graduate.The police’s chargesheet stated that Tomar was “desperate to get a graduation/postgraduation (LLB) degree”, and tried all means. “He took admission at Shivaji College/Rajdhani College, DU, in different streams but could not succeed, so he opted for illegal means.”Judge Vishal noted that considering the statements before him, it can’t be said that “the allegations are groundless”. Seven people, however, were discharged by the court.The others charged include Bare Narayan Singh, an official of Tilka Manji Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, who issued Tomar a “forged” LLB certificate.
