Question

Which case did the Supreme Court rely on in *V.R. Dalal v. Yugendra Naranji Thakkar*, 2008 (15) SCC 625, to hold that the **first ingredient of criminal breach of trust** is entrustment, and that absence of entrustment cannot constitute the offence?

Accepted Answer

D. {'text': 'The very judgment in V.R. Dalal v. Yugendra Naranji Thakkar establishing entrustment as the foundational requirement', 'label': 'D'}

1. The lesson cites *V.R. Dalal v. Yugendra Naranji Thakkar*, 2008 (15) SCC 625, as the Supreme Court's own authority for the entrustment requirement under section 405.
2. The Court held: "the first ingredient of criminal breach of trust is entrustment and where it is missing, the same would not constitute a criminal breach of trust".
3. *Pratibha Rani* concerned stridhan; *Mohammad Ali* concerned section 403; *U. Dhar* concerned a civil/criminal remedy split.
4. The entrustment principle is the holding of *V.R. Dalal* itself.
