Ranchi, March 30: The Jharkhand High Court today directed to quash the FIR challenging the MBA degree of BJP parliamentarian Nishikant Dubey. The hearing in the matter was concluded on Tuesday.
In July, 2020, the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Chief Minister Hemant Soren had accused the Godda MP of obtaining a fake management degree from Delhi University.
It was alleged that Dubey has submitted false information in the year 2009, 2014 and 2019 General Elections about his educational qualification that he passed MBA from the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi University, but verification of the documents obtained under RTI proves that he has neither taken admission nor has he passed MBA from aforementioned institute.
One Vishnukant Jha had also lodged a police complaint in Deoghar against the MP over the matter. Based on the complaint, police had registered an FIR and started an investigation against him. Following this, Dubey filed a petition in the high court on December 7, seeking quashing of the FIR.
“Nishikant Dubey has submitted false information in the 2009, 2014 and 2019 General Elections about his educational qualification that he passed MBA from the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi University, but verification of the documents obtained under RTI proves that he has neither taken admission nor has he passed MBA from aforementioned institute,” he has said.
Contacted Dubey for his reaction in the matter, he welcomed the decision but parried reply when asked from where he had actually obtained MBA degree.
“I cannot go beyond the high court order,” he said. Asked if the order has not been uploaded and what problem he has in repeating the correct thing, he said: “Let the order be uploaded.”
