  Summary & questions settled

  This petition for special leave to appeal arises from the conviction of the petitioner, a former Circle Officer, under section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, for the dishonest misappropriation of Red Cross garments entrusted to him for free distribution in flood-affected areas. The core legal question was whether the misappropriation was established when the specific seized goods were allegedly not identified as the exact items entrusted. The Supreme Court held that the conviction was well-founded, ruling that entrustment was admitted, the defense of distribution was proven false through fabricated duplicate muster rolls and false certificates, and proof that the public servant disposed of the entrusted property in violation of directions sufficiently establishes the offence of criminal misconduct and breach of trust. The petition was accordingly dismissed.

  Questions settled

  • Whether misappropriation of entrusted property by a public servant is established when the property is disposed of in violation of directions?
  • Does the creation of false duplicate muster rolls support a charge of criminal misappropriation under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947?
  • Whether the Supreme Court will interfere with concurrent findings of fact regarding the non-distribution of relief goods?
