Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 409 IPC for criminal breach of trust involving 4300 litres of diesel oil. The Court found that both accused were entrusted with the diesel and failed to account for the missing quantity, thus establishing the elements of the offence. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding conviction and sentencing.
