(1.) THE revisional application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal
procedure is directed to quash proceeding in connection with Case No. 155 of
2005 arising out of Contai Police Station Case No. 66 of 2005 under Sections
406/471/468/420 of the Indian Penal Code, now pending before the Court of
learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Contai.
(2.) IT appears from the documents filed along with the application, that
police officer after conducting investigation submitted charge sheet against
the petitioners herein for commission of offence punishable under Section
406 of the Indian Penal Code. The First Information Report in this case was
lodged by one Inspector, DIO-III, Contai, on the basis of allegation of execution
of power of attorney in favour of the petitioner herein by the Opposite Party
no. 2. The said power of attorney was executed by the O. P. No. 2 in favour of
the petitioner herein, in view of the relationship between the petitioner with the
opposite Party No. 2. Under the said power of attorney a copy of which is
annexed along with the revisional application, petitioner herein was entrusted
over certain immovable properties of the O. P. No. 2. The said property was
mortgaged by the petitioner with the Cooperative Bank while raising loan of
rs. 80,000/-, the amount could not be repaid and the matter is now pending
with the Cooperative Tribunal.
(3.) THE short question that arises is whether in respect of immovable
property, an offence of criminal breach of trust punishable under Section 406
