R. K. DALMIA vs DELHI ADMINISTRATION

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 120B and Section 409 of the Indian Penal Code for conspiracy and criminal breach of trust, respectively, in diverting funds from the Bharat Insurance Company to cover losses in share speculation. The Court ruled that the confession made by Dalmia was admissible and that the Delhi Court had jurisdiction to try Chokhani for the offence committed beyond its jurisdiction. The Court clarified that the charge against Dalmia was not invalidated by Section 233 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as it pertained to a single offence despite the varied modes of commission.
