If the teacher using the fake certificate was aware of the fact that certificate was fake and still made use of it all these years he will be criminally responsible for playing fraud on the government authorities and making of false documents. if the teacher was not aware of the fact that he was using fake document, as fake certificate can be given by his parents without him knowing that. then he has to prove it by giving evidences.
