The remaining 19 persons have been ordered to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years and pay fine of Rs. 40,000.
The court on February 10 convicted Telgi and 19 others for printing and selling fake stamp papers. They were found to have indulged in counterfeiting government stamps by designing, printing, possessing, and selling such stamps as genuine stamps in Bangalore and other parts of the State.
Bangalore’s Upparpet police arrested Badruddin and Vittal Maruthi in August 2000 and recovered Rs. 53.12 lakh worth fake stamp papers from them.
