The Indore bench of the High Court has delivered a significant verdict in an 11-year-old case involving a bribe of ₹7,000 for passing pension and gratuity. Justice Jai Kumar Pillai's court upheld the corruption conviction of Treasury Officer Om Prakash Mungelwal even three years after his death. The family had presented a death certificate and documents from 11 days of treatment in court, but the court clarified that there was leniency on record.
