Judge delivered a packet of Rs.15 lakh by 'mistake'

Neat bundles of crisp currency notes adding up to Rs 15 lakh, were delivered at the door of a high court judge in Haryana. A munshi working with Haryana's additional advocate general brought the money in a packet.
A police inquiry has got under way in the matter. The concerned judge, however, claimed she herself reported the matter to the authorities and police. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur said on Friday that she had told the chief justice of the Punjab and Haryana high court about what has happened. Kaur is the second woman judge of the High Court.
The munshi who delivered the money is working with Haryana's additional advocate general. Kaur claimed there was no case before her in which the Haryana additional advocate general Sandeep Bansal was appearing.

What’s the real story?
Repots say that Parkash, a munshi working with Bansal went to Kaur's Sector 11 home on Wednesday night and handed over the "parcel" to the guard there. The guard, wary it could be a bomb, thought it fit to open the bag and see what it contained.
What if the guard would simply have delivered the parcel to his master?
Bansal had a different story to tell. He said the packet was meant for one Nirmal Singh, who lives in Sector 18. It was meant to be advance money for a property deal. It was only by mistake that my clerk reached the house of Justice Kaur.
Will you like to have a similar packet delivered to you by mistake? Contact Bansal for further details.
