The broad allegations against the opposite parties were that they had conspired together to cause pecuniary loss to the Union of India by fraudulent means and in furtherance of the conspiracy misappropriated and cheated the Government by misusing official position a sum of Rs. 1,05,989.13. Though, initially the case was one but it came to be bifurcated as would appear from the two orders of discharge passed by the learned Judge. At first, the case against the opposite parties Major W.P.F. Roberts and Naik Subedar K.P. Verma was taken up and by an order passed on 29.9.78 they were discharged.
