Blaggan, Sushma
Published:
Sushma Blaggan was convicted in June 2004 of false accounting and received a community punishment order of 140 hours’ unpaid work and a compensation order of £8,810.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in October 2023.
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 April 2024.
The Crown Court quashed the conviction in May 2024.
