Karnataka High Court refuses to quash FIR against self-proclaimed Congress leaders in ₹5.3 crore job racket case
The Karnataka High Court has denied a request to quash an FIR against two individuals accused of running a multi-crore job racket. The court described the scheme as a sophisticated fraud involving fake government documents and sham training centers.
Why it matters
Demonstrates the judiciary's role in addressing large-scale white-collar crime and protecting citizens from fraudulent employment schemes.
The High Court of Karnataka has refused to quash a criminal case registered against two self-proclaimed Congress leaders for cheating over ₹5.3 crore promising jobs in various government departments using fake documents through a “meticulously choreographed design” to deceive job aspirants.
“...the alleged creation of fabricated appointment orders, fictitious email IDs, sham training centres and non-existent government departments, all for the purpose of duping innocent and gullible citizens. It is a classic case of fake in uno fake in omnibus (false in one thing, false in everything), as the allegations portray an edifice allegedly built entirely upon fabrication and falsehood,” the court said, while refusing to interfere at this stage of probe.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna passed the order while dismissing the petition filed by Shamshad Begum, 48, and her father M.A. Mansoor Ahmed, 78, both having residences in Madikeri and Bengaluru.
