S. ABDUL NAZEER, KRISHNA MURARI
Vijay Kumar Ghai – Appellant
Versus
State Of West Bengal – Respondent
भारतीय दंड संहिता (आईपीसी) में धारा 406 (आपराधिक विश्वासघात) और धारा 420 (धोखाधड़ी) को एक ही मामले में एक साथ लगाना कानूनी रूप से गलत माना जाता है। दोनों अपराधों के मूल तत्व (ingredients) आपस में विरोधाभासी हैं, इसलिए वे एक साथ नहीं चल सकते। नीचे सरल शब्दों में कारण समझाए गए हैं। (!) (!) [1000754470022][1000754470026]
विरोधाभास (mutually exclusive): | धारा 406 | धारा 420 | |---------------------------|---------------------------| | शुरू में विश्वास (entrustment) होता है। | शुरू से धोखा (no trust from beginning)। | | संपत्ति भरोसे पर सौंपी जाती है। | संपत्ति धोखे से निकाली जाती है। | | बेईमानी बाद में आती है। | बेईमानी शुरू से मौजूद। |
अगर शुरू से धोखा था (420), तो विश्वास का सौंपना (entrustment) ही नहीं हो सकता (406 के लिए जरूरी)।
निष्कर्ष: ये दोनों अपराध एक ही लेन-देन में एक साथ नहीं बन सकते, क्योंकि एक में विश्वास की शुरुआत और दूसरे में धोखे की शुरुआत जरूरी है। गलत तरीके से लगाने पर एफआईआर या कार्यवाही रद्द हो सकती है। (!) [1000754470033][1000754470035]
