5         In order to prove its case, prosecution has examined seven witnesses

Findings 13 Now considering the merits of the case and established law, the prosecution in order to bring home the charge has to prove that the accused applied to the Medical Council of India for registration and in that process submitted fake/ false marksheet of 10+2. Prosecution also has to prove that accused had knowledge that the marksheet was not genuine, yet he used it as genuine and the said usage was with dishonest or fraudulent intention to cheat the Medical Council of India. It is no point in contention that Registration certificate be it provisional or permanent is a 'property' for the purposes of Section 420 Indian Penal Code [AIR 1969 SC 40]. It is also not a bone of contention that provisional certificate was delivered to accused and he even had applied for the permanent certificate.

21 From the discussion above, the accused is proved to have fraudulently induced the MCI to deliver his provisional registration, which if not for the deception of fake marksheet, the MCI would not have delivered. The accused has thus cheated the MCI by furnishing fake marksheet. Further, because of the said cheating, the MCI having been deceived has delivered the marksheet to the accused. Also, the accused had knowledge that the marksheet was false and yet he fraudulently and with dishonest intention used the same as genuine. It is true that not much effort was made to trace the person who forged the marksheet in question for the accused, however the same does not absolve the accused of his actions.

Conclusions FIR No.98 of 2013; P.S. Palam Village Pages 11 of 12 State v. Chandan Kumar 22 Thus the accused somehow had in his possession a false marksheet which he knew was not genuine. Accused used this fake marksheet to fill his form to the Medical Council of India and thereby got Provisional Registration Certificate. The accused has thus cheated and dishonestly induced the Medical Council of India (an artificial person) so deceived to delivery property i.e. Provisional Registration Certificate. All the ingredients of Section 420 of the Code are thus fulfilled. Similarly since accused knew or atleast had reason to believe that the marksheet was forged, yet he fraudulently or dishonestly used the same as genuine and thus the ingredients of Section 471 of the Code are also fulfilled.
