Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Padum Kumar for offenses under Sections 467 and 468 of the IPC, confirming the High Court's decision. The court found that the evidence presented, including the failure of the appellant to deliver a registered envelope containing valuable Indira Vikas Patras, substantiated the charges of forgery and cheating. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the sentence imposed by the lower courts.
