Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the quashing of charges under Section 406 IPC for criminal breach of trust related to non-payment of a contract bill. The Court held that the withholding of payment was directed by the Vice-Chancellor and did not constitute misappropriation, as there was no dishonest intention. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming that a prima facie case existed against the appellants, and thus the appeal was dismissed.
