Delhi High Court stays Bar Council of India’s directions initiating a CBI enquiry into the authenticity of the LL.B (Hons.) Degree of Sanjeev Nasiar and directing his removal from the post of Vice Chairman, Bar Council of Delhi until then Image
Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa appeared for Nasiar stating BCI has invoked its revisional powers, assumed jurisdiction on its own. No opportunity to be heard was given to me. BCI directly published it. They don’t say its forged, they say it is “highly questionable”
Senior Adv Kirtiman Singh appeared for BCI - Agrees that the University has vouched for the genuineness of the degree, but it does not have the last word on proving genuine of the degree. Universities may be complicit in giving fake degrees.
