The Kerala High Court on Tuesday observed that impersonation in a competitive examination like the one conducted by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) should be dealt with sternly.
Justice Muhammed Nias C.P. made the observation while dismissing the bail plea of Haryana native Amith, first accused, who allegedly impersonated a candidate (arraigned as second accused), in the VSSC Technician-B (Fitter) examination held at St. Joseph School, Thiruvananthapuram on August 20.
The court added that fraudulent practices to gain public employment cannot be countenanced by a court of law. All the stakeholders are “hoodwinked by manipulating and corrupting the selection process of a premier organisation in the country, which all are proud of”.
