Puja Khedkar’s non-creamy layer OBC certificate cancelled
In a recent development, the Nashik Divisional Commissionerate has cancelled the non-creamy layer OBC certificate of ex-IAS probationer Puja Khedkar, reportedly for suppressing information. This news has sent shockwaves across the country, particularly among those who were following the controversy surrounding Khedkar’s alleged cheating and wrongful availing of OBC and disability quota benefits in civil services examination.
Khedkar, who is accused of cheating and wrongly availing OBC and disability quota benefits in civil services examination, has appealed against the cancellation of her certificate. However, it appears that her appeal may not be entertained, as per the legal provisions. AAP leader Vijay Kumbhar stated, “There is no legal provision for such an appeal.” This statement has raised questions about the legitimacy of Khedkar’s claims and the consequences she may face as a result of her actions.
The controversy surrounding Khedkar’s certificate began when it was discovered that she had falsely claimed to belong to the Other Backward Class (OBC) and had also availed of disability quota benefits despite not being eligible for them. The allegations were made by some individuals who had taken the civil services examination alongside Khedkar and had noticed inconsistencies in her claims.
The Nashik Divisional Commissionerate, which is responsible for verifying the certificates of individuals who have applied for government jobs, took cognizance of the allegations and conducted an inquiry into the matter. After thorough investigation, the authorities concluded that Khedkar had indeed suppressed information and cancelled her non-creamy layer OBC certificate.
Khedkar’s actions have been widely condemned by many, who view her behavior as an attempt to cheat the system and gain an unfair advantage. The cancellation of her certificate is seen as a necessary step to maintain the integrity of the civil services examination and to ensure that only eligible candidates are selected for government jobs.
The impact of Khedkar’s actions goes beyond just her own personal consequences. Her alleged cheating and wrongful availing of benefits have undermined the trust of the public in the system and have raised questions about the effectiveness of the measures in place to prevent cheating.
The controversy surrounding Khedkar’s certificate has also highlighted the need for stricter monitoring and verification of certificates by the authorities. The Nashik Divisional Commissionerate’s prompt action in cancelling Khedkar’s certificate is a welcome step in this direction.
In conclusion, the cancellation of Puja Khedkar’s non-creamy layer OBC certificate is a necessary step to maintain the integrity of the civil services examination and to ensure that only eligible candidates are selected for government jobs. Her alleged cheating and wrongful availing of benefits have undermined the trust of the public in the system and have raised questions about the effectiveness of the measures in place to prevent cheating.
