Sir,
The citizen friendly decsion taken by the Centre to dispense with the requirement of an affidavit or attestation of original documents like marks sheets etc by any class I officer have given a great relief to the citizens.
The dubious colonial practice of submitting affidavits for petty purposes have been stopped though, after so many years of independence. In case of any wrong certification every individual is liable to be prosecuted under law. So, there is nothing wrong to trust the citizens. In case of any ambiguity the original documents can be called for an verified by the concerned. Punjab and Haryana Governments have introduce self-attestation.
As to whether J&K State Government is going to follow the citizen friendly measure without further delay only time will tell.
Yours etc…
