Seema Misra was convicted in March 2009 and October 2010 of theft and false accounting. She received a sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment for theft and six months’ imprisonment for false accounting.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in April 2015.
This was one of the CCRC’s “Post Office” cases, referred on the basis that the prosecution amounted to an abuse of process and that therefore there was a real possibility the appellate court would not uphold the conviction.
You can find out more about Post Office / Horizon cases on the CCRC’s dedicated hub.

The CCRC referred the conviction in September 2020.
The Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in April 2021.
