The allegations against the accused were that they tampered with the question papers and accused no.1 wrote certain examination sheets. The Court has found that in an enquiry by the University, the Complainant as well as another witness i.e. no.4 were held guilty and debarred from supervising examination of Shivaji University. The same indicates that these witnesses were interested witnesses.
