► The candidate took admission in the B.Sc. program at Magadh University in the year 2021. Due to delay in the academic session, the B.Sc. Part-I examination was conducted in August 2023 instead of the regular schedule. During the subsistence of the B.Sc. program, the candidate took admission in a 5-year BA LL.B course at North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, in December 2022. The candidate appeared in the first semester examination of the said BA LL.B course in June 2023. Thereafter, the candidate discontinued the said course by ceasing to attend classes and did not pursue further semesters. The admission at NEHU stood automatically cancelled/discontinued, and the candidate did not obtain any degree, certificate, or academic benefit from the said course. The candidate does not possess any marksheet for the said first semester and has not relied upon the said enrollment for any academic or professional purpose. Subsequently, the candidate appeared in the B.Sc. Part-I examination in August 2023 and completed the B.Sc. degree from Magadh University in 2024. After completion of B.Sc., the candidate took fresh admission in a 5-year BA LL.B program at the Central University of South Bihar for the academic session 2024–2029 and is presently pursuing the same. At the time of applying for employment, the candidate disclosed the completed qualification (B.Sc.) but did not mention the discontinued BA LL.B course at NEHU, as no degree or benefit was obtained from it. Can it cause any issues in future perticularly in government job based on law degree

Dear Sir,
That said, courts in India have repeatedly held that not every non-disclosure amounts to disqualification, especially where the omission is not intentional or does not confer any undue advantage. In your case, since (i) you did not hold dual degrees, (ii) you did not misuse the discontinued course for eligibility, and (iii) your qualifying degree (B.Sc. and future LL.B from Central University of South Bihar) is genuine, the risk is generally manageable rather than fatal. However, problems may arise during document verification, character verification, or later service scrutiny if authorities interpret the omission strictly.
