It took a postmaster 32 years to finally get justice in a case which began with a minor clerical error.

- ANURAAG SINGH @ Bhopal

Back in 1983, Mankaram, then in his 40s, was posted as postmaster at a post office branch in Madhya Pradesh's Betul district.

An inspection of the post office revealed that Mankaram had failed to make the desired entry of a ₹3,956 deposit in the branch register. Though the sum was deposited in the treasury and its entry also made in the account holder's passbook, the absence of its entry in the branch's deposit register landed him in legal trouble.
