Ex-Gauhati High Court Employee Sentenced for Financial Fraud

A CBI court in Guwahati sentenced former Gauhati High Court Record Arranger Wahed Ali to six years of rigorous imprisonment and a ₹1.8 lakh fine for embezzling ₹38.88 lakh. Initially booked in 1996 for misappropriating ₹81,000, a deeper probe uncovered large-scale fraud involving falsified travel allowance bills. The CBI filed a chargesheet in 2000, and after years of legal proceedings, Ali was convicted, reinforcing the fight against corruption in judicial institutions.
