Official sources said the Court of Additional District and Sessions Judge K L Liana in Aizawl found the cashier, Lalengmawii guilty of misappropriating funds to the tune of Rs 26 lakh.
A fast-track court had earlier in 2010 awarded the woman with a one-month jail term and a fine of Rs 1,50,000. Not satisfied with the verdict, the public prosecutor appealed in the higher court, seeking lifetime imprisonment.
However, the cashier's lawyer pleaded the court for leniency for the 56-year-old widow having age-related ailments. After the verdict was pronounced on Tuesday, Lalengmawii was sent to Aizawl Central Jail.
