|Bombay High Court
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 318(4) | Bail Granted in Trust Property Disputes Where Case Rests Solely on Documentary Evidence: Bombay HC (Aurangabad)
The Bombay High Court has ruled that custodial detention is unnecessary in cases where trust property disputes are substantiated by documentary evidence and no independent criminal intent is established, effectively limiting criminal prosecution to cases beyond civil boundary disputes. This sets a critical precedent for protecting trustees and managers from weaponized criminal complaints in civil matters.
