LLB Student Impersonation Case: Gujarat HC Flags Serious Impersonation, Orders Custodial Interrogation
The Gujarat High Court has denied anticipatory bail to a law student accused in a LLB student fake advocate case, citing serious allegations of impersonation and fraud. The applicant, a final-year LLB student, allegedly posed as a practicing advocate and became part of a wider cheating racket that duped multiple victims of nearly ₹80 lakh under the pretext of legal services.
According to the prosecution, the accused and others falsely presented themselves as legal professionals and collected money from unsuspecting clients. During the investigation, authorities reportedly recovered fake documents, including identity cards, visiting cards, and materials suggesting she acted as a lawyer despite not being qualified.
Opposing the bail plea, the State argued that custodial interrogation was necessary to uncover the full extent of the fraud and identify other victims. The Court agreed, observing that the allegations were grave and required deeper investigation.
Rejecting the plea in the LLB student fake advocate case, the Court stated: “It transpires that a noble profession of advocacy cannot be allowed to be tarnished… custodial interrogation would be required.”
In light of the bail rejection, authorities will continue their investigation to gather further evidence and establish the complete chain of events. The probe is expected to expand to identify other possible victims and collaborators, while the case moves ahead through the legal process based on the outcome of the inquiry.
