A court in Chamarajanagar has sentenced eight village accountants to two years imprisonment for submitting fake II PU marks cards at the time of their appointment.
The village accountants convicted for submitting fake marks cards were among the applicants, who had responded to the notification issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Chamarajanagar on August 30, 2012, inviting online applications for appointment of 46 village accountants.
The selection for the posts of village accountants had been made based on merit cum roster system after perusing the applications submitted by the candidates for the posts along with their II PUC marks cards.
