The high court bench of Justice SM Modak set aside the conviction of the postmaster. The court also criticised the lackadaisical approach of the prosecution and the judiciary while emphasising the importance of seizing and producing relevant documentary evidence during trial. It was alleged that the postmaster misappropriated Rs. 28,834 between August 20, 2006, and February 28, 2007.
