HC Acquits Postmaster Convicted for Minor Clerical Error After 32 Yrs
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|June 26, 2025
It took a postmaster 32 years to finally get justice in a case which began with a minor clerical error.
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.
