Yes. However, there is no bar on trying the offences in ordinary courts too.
For that matter, I think no penalty has been imposed so far in RPWD in India yet. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bhawani shankar verma Sent: 27 March 2019 13:05 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

Subject: [AI] Two held with forged disability certificate Two held with forged disability certificate Mumbai Mirror | Mar 24, 2019, 06.00 AM IST Ashok Mahajan (left) and son Rajdhar who had the document 47-year-old railway passenger says he was able to get the document for Rs 5,000 to apply for concessions; alleged roles of doctors being probed. Two passengers have been arrested for allegedly forging a fake disability certificate to get concessions on train ticket fares. The alleged roles of doctors and other agents who aided this purported forgery are being investigated since the certificate bears the signature of an orthopaedic surgeon from Thane Civil Hospital. After receiving a tip-off that a ticket for travelscheduled on March 20 was booked at Kalyan station’s reservation centre using a fake disability certificate, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) deployed its personnel in the train and caught Ashok Mahajan, 47, and his son Rajdhar Mahajan, 22. Rajdhar allegedly had the forged certificate on him. During questioning, Ashok, who runs a store in Ulhasnagar, said a regular customer, identified only as Wadhwa, offered to procure a disability certificate for Rs 5,000, saying that it would not only allow him to apply for concessions during train journeys but also increased the odds of getting a reserved berth. Ashok paid Wadhwa the money, who allegedly got in touch with those who could forge such a certificate. He pocketed Rs 400 of the Rs 5,000; the rest went to the other alleged agents. Ashok and Rajdhar have been booked under Section 145 (nuisance/misbehaving with an inquiry officer) of the Railway Act. The RPF has written to the Mumbai police, urging them to register an offence under relevant sections of the IPC, said Ajit Mane, inspector of Kalyan RPF post. Dr Kailash Pawar, civilsurgeon of Thane Civil Hospital, said an orthopaedic surgeon cannot issue disability certificates. “A panel of doctors examines the applicant, and the certificate is signed off by the civilsurgeon of a hospital. We will look into this issue.” Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.noclick_noclick_com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
