The case arose out of an ejahar dated 31.07.2025 lodged by DSP, CID, Assam, Ulubari, Guwahati. 4. The gist of allegations is that in a recruitment process of graduate and post- graduate teachers, 50 candidates' submitted passed certificates from one Techno Global University, Madhya Pradesh and that these certificates are suspected to be fake. 5. The Case Diary as called for has been received and learned Addl Public Prosecutor has drawn the attention of the this Court to the Report dated 29.08.2025 submitted to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, CID, Assam jointly by the Registrar as well as Controller of Techno Global University, Madhya Pradesh in response to the query of the Investigating Officer, stating that the petitioner had never enrolled himself as a student of the said University and hence, the certificate submitted by him is a fake and forged one. 6. It is further submitted that pursuant to interim order passed by this Court, the petitioner has appeared before the I.O and has co-operated with the investigation. On the other hand, the I.O in his bail objection has stated that several candidates in their statements have specifically mentioned few link men and facilitators who supplied them with course documents in exchange for money and in order to ascertain the larger nexus and identify other beneficiaries and to secure further evidence and as network level investigation is still ongoing, the active interrogation of the petitioner is very much required. The Addl. Public Prosecutor has also stated that the petitioner if allowed to go on pre-arrest bail may disrupt the ongoing investigation by influencing other key witnesses. Page No.# 3/3 7. It appears that the petitioner is one of the candidates who submitted fake certificate in the recruitment process. 8. Having regard to the above, the necessity of custodial interrogation cannot be ruled out. Consequently, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected. 9. The order of interim bail stands vacated. 10. Send back the Case Diary. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
