No Entrustment for Illegal Purpose = No Criminal Breach of Trust Under Section 406 IPC | Quashing Cognizance in Govt-Job Scheme Case : Patna HC
The Patna High Court held that where money is paid for an illegal purpose (securing govt jobs), there is no entrustment under Section 406 IPC, so no criminal breach of trust exists. It quashed the cognizance order, calling the prosecution mala fide, protecting persons accused of cheating in job schemes from unfounded charges.
