The petitioners in the case were found guilty of misconduct and debarred for a period of three years.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case Sahil and Others versus Staff Selection Commission North Western Region and Others observed and has directed the Staff Selection Commission - North West Region, to report all cases which relate to document forgery to the office of the Senior Superintendent of Police for action under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
The court in the case was hearing the writ petition filed challenging the debarment order, issued by the Staff Selection Commission, North West Region, which debarred the six petitioners for a period of three years, for presenting forged disability certificates.
The bench headed by Justice Vinod Bhardwaj stated that, 'An approach to condone such behaviour which promotes disregard to rule of law and motivates a candidate to resort to forgery of documents to defeat the rights of other genuine candidates needs to be dealt with sternly.'
