Grewal, Balbir

Published:

Balbir Grewal was convicted in August 2001 of false accounting and received an unknown fine together with costs and compensation orders

The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in December 2020.

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.

You can also find a long read on Post Office cases here.

The CCRC referred the conviction in September 2021.

The Crown Court quashed the conviction in November 2021.
