MANIYAMMA v. ABDUL RASAAK

Crl. A. No.399 of 1987

Decided on 28th February, 1989

Penal Code 1860, S.406 - Husband if liable for breach of trust if he fails to return the cash or gold ornaments belonging to his wife - Entrustment if attracts ingredients of partnership or co-ownership.

A husband is liable to be visited with penal consequences for breach of trust, if he fails to return the cash or gold ornaments belonging to his wife. Mere entrustment of property of the wife to the husband does not attract any of the essential ingredients of the partnership or constitutes any co-ownership. This principle applies with equal force to all husbands and wives whether they are Hindus or Muslims or Christians. (Para 5)
