The Supreme Court has refused to hear the petition alleging fake degrees against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya. The Supreme Court has refused to intervene in the Allahabad High Court order which came on 7 July. The High Court dismissed the petition of Diwakar Nath Tripathi and stated him with malicious.

The appeal of petitioner Diwakar Nath Tripathi against the High Court’s decision was engaged in the bench of Supreme Court Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Arvind Kumar. The judges refused to change the decision of the High Court.

Lower court files FIR in case

The petitioner had alleged that Keshav Prasad Maurya submitted a fake degree to contest elections and get a petrol pump dealership. On September 4, 2021, the lower court refused to order an FIR in the case. The ACJM court had said that no crime is made against Maurya.

Court’s stand on the complainant

The petition filed against this order was also rejected by the High Court. The High Court had said that the complainants are not affected in this case. It seems that he started proceedings with malicious purpose. The purpose of the complainant seems to be taking some advantage or disturbing Maurya.
