Jaipur, September 22, 2026: The CBI Court in Jaipur has convicted three public servants of the erstwhile Oriental Bank of Commerce and sentenced them to seven years’ rigorous imprisonment in a bank fraud case involving the wrongful loss of ₹12.14 lakh to the bank.

The court sentenced Ramji Lal Meena, then Branch Manager; Murari Lal Meena, then Special Assistant; and Then Singh Lakshkar, Peon-cum-Housekeeper, all posted at the Oriental Bank of Commerce branch at Sheosinghpura, Lalsot, in Dausa district, to seven years’ rigorous imprisonment.

Each convict was also directed to pay a fine of ₹85,000.

The case was registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation on February 1, 2019, on the basis of a complaint filed by the then Deputy General Manager of the Oriental Bank of Commerce.

According to the prosecution, Murari Lal Meena abused his official position by dishonestly issuing unauthorised ‘No Dues Certificates’.

The certificates allegedly facilitated the release of mortgaged securities even though outstanding liabilities remained unpaid in three loan accounts.

The alleged acts resulted in a wrongful loss of ₹12,14,660.71 to the bank, the CBI said.

Following investigation, the agency filed a chargesheet before the court on May 5, 2022, against Murari Lal Meena, Ramji Lal Meena and Than Singh Lakshkar.

After conclusion of the trial, the CBI Court found the accused guilty and imposed the sentences accordingly.
