JUDGEMENT
R.K.BAG, J. -
(1.) THIS criminal revision is preferred by the petitioners for quashing the proceeding being C.R. Case No. 921 of 2010 under
Sections 406/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code pending before the
court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Court at Siliguri.
(2.) IT appears from the materials on record that the opposite party no.1 filed a petition of complaint against the petitioners in the court
of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Siliguri and the said
petition of complaint was registered as C.R. Case No. 921 of 2010.
By pointing out Paragraph -8 of the petition of complaint Mr. Pushpal Satpati, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
opposite party no.2 has only stated about the entrustment of the
property to the petitioners but there is no averment in the petition of
complaint that the said property is misappropriated and as such no
offence under Section 406 of the Indian Penal Code is made out and
as such the criminal proceeding may be quashed.
(3.) ON the other hand, Mr. Moinak Bakshi, learned counsel for the opposite party no.1 submits that the opposite party no.1 has
specifically mentioned in Paragraph -3 of the petition of complaint
that the property in question was entrusted to the petitioners at
Siliguri and petitioners have illegally kept those properties in their
custody for wrongful gain and have been using the same and trying to
misappropriate the same and as such the offence under Section 406
of the Indian Penal Code is clearly made out.;
