sec 405 of IPC is not pplicable. 406 is also not applicable becuse constitute this offence there must be dishonest misappropriation by a person in whom confidence is palced.

such an offence where alleged held on facts should be tried under the special legsilation rather than general provisions contained in penal code. if any article was given by way of dowry its entrustment on behalf of wife would not arise. so this is to be tried under specail act ie dowry prohibition n not ipc
