Patna: With the discovery of a fake medical council running around 60 km away from Patna, in the Bhojpur district of Bihar and granting fake degrees to students in various fields of medicine, a division bench of the Patna High Court recently pulled up the CBI with regards to the investigation.
It is reported that the CBI had been directed, by the single bench of Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah to conduct an investigation into fake institution named Medical Council of Patent Medicine of Bhojpur that was awarding fake degrees to students. The CBI, however expressing inability to investigate the matter, filed an appeal with the higher bench consisting of two judges, Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice Anil Kumar Upadhyay, only to get it dismissed
The twin bench upheld the earlier order that directed the probe on account of the nationwide ramification of granting of fake affiliation to medical colleges and even granting of degrees for becoming a doctor. TOI reports that around 821 students have been given various medical degrees by the said Medical Council of Patent Medicine of Bhojpur across the country to practice medicine and grant fitness certificate to the common man while none of these degrees has any legal sanctity.
