According to PTI, the high court noted her claim of belonging to ‘Mochi’ caste for obtaining the Scheduled Caste certificate itself was fraudulent.

The court also said that it made with an intention to avail benefits given to a candidate from such category, despite knowing she does not belong to that caste.

A division bench of Justice RD Dhanuka and Justice VG Bisht directed her to surrender it within six weeks.

The bench also imposed a fine of ₹200,000, which she needs to pay to the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority within two weeks.
