Karnataka High Court Sentences Man for Forging 2017 Court Order
The Karnataka High Court sentenced Chethan Kumar to three months' imprisonment for criminal contempt after he forged a 2017 interim order by altering its date and adding names of students who were not petitioners. The forged order related to engineering students' exam admissions and bore a fake court stamp. The court noted the altered date fell on a Saturday when it was closed. Chethan Kumar did not deny the forgery during trial, which was initiated following a complaint by an advocate representing the original petitioners.
