Taking notice of recent national and international headlines pertaining to the fake degree scam, the CJP said that no one who tarnishes Pakistan’s name would be allowed to go scot-free. According to the report, Axact had created a series of fake websites involving “professors” and students who it said were in fact paid actors. A fake degrees case against Axact was ongoing in the Sindh High Court. The last notable development was that Axact Chief Executive Officer Shoaib Sheikh and 13 co-accused were granted bail by the SHC in August 2016. A district and sessions court hearing a money laundering case against Sheikh acquitted the Axact CEO not long after.
