Analysing Telgi Scam at Moot Court

Mr. Aum Kotwal, Litigating advocate at Gujarat High Court with specialisation in stamp duty matters discussed the Nitty- gritty of the Telgi Scam aka Stamp Duty Scam at Moot Court Hall, UWSL. A stamp paper is widely used around the world to collect taxes on documents requiring stampings, such as leases, agreements, receipts, court documents and many others. The scam was related to the printing and making of fake stamps and stamp papers. The mastermind behind this scam was Abdul Karim Telgi who initially started as a vendor and then went on to work in travel companies and came up with the idea of fake stamps. It was truly an insightful session for our law students.
