'Munna Bhai to Andar Rhna chahiye,' SC on bail plea by candidate accused of using proxy in competitive exam

Munna Bhai to Andar Rhna chahiye SC on bail plea by candidate accused of using proxy in competitive exam

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said 'Munna Bhai' should remain inside as it was considering bail plea by a candidate accused of using a proxy in a competitive examination.

The accused had allegedly used a proxy person to appear for him in the CTET examination in Uttar Pradesh in December 2024, and moved the apex court after the high court refused to entertain his bail plea.

Considering the matter, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, apparently referring to Bollywood’s hugely successful movie “Munna Bhai MBBS”,  observed, “Munna Bhai ko andar rehna chahiye (Munnabhai should remain inside)".

Actor Sanjay Dutt, in the 2003 movie, played the character of Munna Bhai who used another person to appear for him in the medical examination.

The counsel for the petitioner, submitted before the bench that three people were chargesheeted in the case and two of them have been granted bail.

The counsel contended that the purported "solver", who appeared as a proxy candidate for the petitioner, was also granted bail.

However, this contention could not convince the bench, which said, “You are destroying the entire system of public examinations. There are a number of candidates who suffer because of such people”.

Upon hearing submissions, the bench, however, issued notice to Uttar Pradesh and fixed the matter for hearing after four weeks.
