Neither it is mandatory, nor the Postal Order will be cancelled if without crossing. The only thing is that the same can be encashed by any bearer of the postal order, like a bearer cheque.

Any bearer can encash the postal order, if not crossed.

still any bearer can encash it?

I have sent the postal order along with examination application form through speed post

Crossing of any negotiable instrument is one of the safety measures designed to ensure encashment of funds remitted by the intended recipient.
So, as Mr. Dhingra has clarified there is chance of encashment of such instruments by any person who has access to it adopting fraudulent means.
