Guwahati, March 27: A special CBI court in Guwahati has sentenced Wahed Ali, a former Record Arranger at the Gauhati High Court, to six years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹1.8 lakh in a defalcation case.
The case, registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on October 15, 1996, was based on a complaint from the Registrar (Judicial) of the Gauhati High Court. The complaint alleged that Ali, who was responsible for collecting funds from the treasury and bank, misappropriated ₹81,000. Upon sensing possible action against him, he reportedly deposited the amount through a treasury challan and submitted a letter stating his willingness to refund any excess funds withdrawn.
During the investigation, the CBI found that Ali had fraudulently withdrawn funds by manipulating travel allowance (T.A.) bills, tampering with original figures, and adding bogus names and amounts. The total embezzlement was found to be ₹38.88 lakh.
Following the probe, the CBI filed a chargesheet on September 5, 2000, against multiple accused, including Ali. After years of legal proceedings, the special CBI court in Chandmari, Guwahati, convicted and sentenced him.
