Bhopal:20.01.2019

A probe committee, headed by a retired judge, has recommended FIR against nine professors and nonteaching staff of National Law Institute University (NLIU) in Bhopal for allegedly helping students get fake degrees.

The panel has also showcaused six others — both teaching and non-teaching staff — to explain why disciplinary action shouldn’t be initiated against them.

It’s a shameful first for any national law university. The Justice A K Gohil panel presented its investigation report to the general council on Saturday in the presence of Chief Justice of MP high court Sanjay Kumar Seth, state advocate general Rajendra Tiwari, law minister P C Sharma, higher education minister Jeetu Patwari and VC of NLSIU-Bengaluru Venkat Rao.

TOI has a copy of the probe report, which says a nexus between certain professors and non-teaching staff at NLIU manipulated marks and helped failed students receive fake degrees from 1998 to 2013.

In all, the committee found that a whopping 188 failed students were given degrees, and has recommended stern action against 101 of them whose case is of “serious nature”.
