Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, in an offence of criminal breach of trust what is necessarily involved?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 316(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 405 IPC) requires entrustment of property or dominion over it followed by the specified dishonest misappropriation, conversion, use or disposal, or wilfully allowing another to do so. Property is therefore essential. A formal registered trust or society is not required for this criminal offence, and the word trust here should not be confused with incorporation or trust registration.
