North Goa Collector R Menaka had earlier issued a show cause notice to Raymond in connection with complaint of alleged forged and fabricated degree certificate. The notice, returnable in three days, was issued following complaint by Advocate Aires Rodrigues alleging that Raymond submitted fake BA degree along with his application for the post of Awal Karkun in the office of the Collectorate.
In his reply to the notice, Raymond contended that once selected he could not be denied the job, but the North Collector held that the explanation was not tenable. Therefore his selection for the post of Awal Karkun stood rejected.
Rodrigues had alleged that the degree certificate from Lucknow-based Bhartiya Shiksha Parishad submitted by Raymond was forged and fabricated, and hence it’s a cognizable offence.
The Registrar of the Goa University in his reply informed the North Goa Collector that the BA degree from the Lucknow-based Parishad submitted by Fernandes for the post of Awal Karkun was from a fake university.
The Registrar also drew the attention of the Collector that the UGC by a notification dated June 30, 2016 had notified the list of fake universities which included Bhartiya Shiksha Parishad.
