Hiring agreement can't be equated with bailment

Against the rejection of the discharge petition filed by one of the alleged accused bank official, Criminal Miscellaneous Petition 1078 of 2013 was filed before High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi.

This is a case where Judicial Magistrate 1st Class has taken cognizance on 17.06.2009 pursuant to the protest-cum-complaint petition for offences u/s 380, 409 and 34 IPC filed by the locker owner at Punjab National Bank. The entire officials of the Bank have been implicated in the protest-cum-complaint case.

Submission of the petitioner

It was submitted by the complainant that he along with his wife are the joint lessee of Locker No. 177 leased out by Punjab National Bank, Main Road, Ranchi.

The complainant has operated his locker last time on 22.02.2002 and kept some gold articles inside the locker.

On 09.06.2003 the complainant along with his son and daughter-in-law went to operate the said locker after opening the same he found the gold articles kept in the small box inside the locker were missing and he immediately informed the same to the then Locker In-charge.

Locker-in-charge, Shri R.K. Sharan did not gave any satisfactory reply same was informed to the then Branch Manager Shri Sanjay Sahay.

An F.I.R. was lodged which was registered as Case No. 71/2003.

The Police filed the Final Form on 15.03.2006 with no clue under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code.

Aggrieved by the submission of final form, complainant filed a complaint-cum-protest petition before Judicial Magistrate First Class Ranchi.

The complainant submits that if the criminal case is made out, then both criminal and civil cases can go simultaneously.

Submission of the Counsel of the Bank

The petitioners are the officers of the Punjab National Bank, Main Road Branch, Ranchi.

For the grievance of the petitioner Case No. 71 of 2003 was registered and the same was investigated by the police, however, the theft was said to be proved, but the police had not sent up the petitioners for trial.

However, on the protest petition, the court has taken the cognizance.

The complainant for the incident has already preferred a Title Suit No. 246 of2006, which is still pending before the court of Sub-Ordinate Judge at Ranchi.

He further submitted that the theft has occurred, but there is no material against the petitioners-Bank officials to put them accused hence the police has not sent them for trial.

He further submits that police has investigated the matter and has categorially stated that in the locker whatever ornaments / amount is taken out from the locker is only known to the locker owner and his relatives and it is not known to the Bank or its officers and so there is no entrustment and they have also tried to locate that who is the person involved in the case, but they have failed to get any clue and so due to absence of any clue the case was closed.

He further submitted that O.P. No. 2/complainant (Shyam Sundar Lal) has reported the bank that locker was not properly working so there might be some technical problem.

And for such technical problem, it can be case of civil nature and at best the case of deficiency in service.

The lockers were installed in the Banks by the different companies like Godrej etc.

All the petitioners are bank officials and they have been falsely implicated in the case.

Even the discharge petition of one of the accused was rejected, which has been challenged in present criminal miscellaneous petition 1078 of 2013.

If such nature of case is there and the case has proceeded further before the JM First Class, the High Court is competent to pass appropriate orders and in view of that the entire criminal proceedings may kindly be quashed.

Submission of the Counsel of the State – APP

The police had investigated the matter and submitted the final form, whereby, the petitioners have not been sent up for trial,

However, JM First Class has taken the cognizance on the protest petition filed by the O.P. No. 2/complainant/Shyan Sundar Lal.

Observation of the High Court

It is an admitted fact that the jewelry was missing from the locker of the Bank.

The police has investigated the matter however nothing was found against the bank officials/present petitioners as such bank officials were not sent for trial.

On the protest petition, JM First Class has taken cognizance against these petitioners/bank officials and subsequently the discharge petition, filed by one of the petitioner/bank official was rejected by the court.

It appears that the locker is the nature of agreement, in view of that the hiring agreement cannot be equated with the bailment. Bank is not aware of the contents kept inside the locker which is only known to the individual. Bailment is for specific period and for specific purpose.

Furthermore, the said operation of the locker was the agreement and the same can be terminated by a person in his favor.

In view of that hiring of a locker is a transaction to be distinct in nature from a transaction that would create the relationship of landlord and tenant.

Whatever property is deposited in the locker is undoubtedly in the custody and possession of the Bank, merely because the locker can be operated only in the presence of the locker hirer, could not amount to joint possession of the locker.

The Banker can always open the locker with a master key, the hirer of the locker is not in a position to open the locker without the assistance of the Bank.

The hirer can only access the locker only specified banking hour.

The Banker has no such limitation. If such a situation is there, the transaction of bailment could only be established if the provisions of Section 148 of the Indian Contract Act are complied.

In view of the above, it appears that the tile suit has already been preferred by the O.P. No. 2, complainant locker owner, which is still pending, and if civil case – title suit is there, then criminal case is not made out.

There is no doubt if the criminal case is made out, then criminal and civil both cases can go on simultaneously, however, the criminal case is not made out, hence allowing protest cum complaint petition would amount to an abuse of the process of law.

So far discharge petition is concerned, the court can consider if prima-facie there is nothing which affixes culpability or constitutes commission of offence including mens-rea on the part of the petitioner, the Court can exercise its power.

So far as criminal case is concerned, against the petitioners, who happens to be the bank officials of Punjab National Bank, Main Road Branch, Ranchi, is not made out.

It is further well settled that even if the proceeding has gone further before the trial court and if the court comes to the conclusion that the case of interference is made out, then that power can be exercised at any stage.

Order

The entire criminal proceedings including the order taking cognizance dated 17.06.2009, by which, cognizance for the offences under Sections 380, 409 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code has been taken against the petitioners, in connection with Complaint Case No. 1159 of 2006, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Ranchi, are hereby, quashed so far the petitioners in Cr.M.P. Nos. 1519 of 2009 and 627 of 2013 are concerned.

So far as the petitioner in Cr.M.P. No. 1078 of 2013 is concerned, the entire criminal proceedings including the order dated 24.01.2013, whereby, a petition filed under Sectio 245 Cr.PC. for discharge was rejected, in connection with Complaint Case No. 1159 of 2006, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1 st Class, Ranchi, are hereby, quashed.

Global Cyber Fraud Syndicate Unveiled: Chinese-Taiwanese Collaboration in Cryptocurrency Scam

In a significant breakthrough, the Cyber Station Police of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Jharkhand has successfully apprehended a 31-year-old resident of Taiwan, Jeevan Gopinath Galdhar, involved in a sophisticated cyber fraud operation targeting individuals in India. The arrest took place upon Galdhar's arrival in India from Taiwan, following a lookout notice issued against him.

Arrest Details and Seized Items

Upon detaining Galdhar, law enforcement authorities discovered a cache of incriminating evidence. Confiscated items included 3300 Taiwan dollars, Rs 48,400 in cash, two mobile phones, two SIM cards, a Bank of Taiwan credit card, four ATMs, Aadhaar and PAN cards, two credit cards, and a passport belonging to the accused.

Unveiling Fraudulent Activities

The genesis of the case traces back to July 5 when a victim from Dhanbad filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police Station in Ranchi. The victim reported falling prey to an online fraud scheme that encompassed various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the IT Act. The modus operandi involved the accused contacting the victim through a profile on www.jeevansathi.com, enticing them to invest in cryptocurrency with promises of substantial profits.

The victim was led to register on a fraudulent website, www.banocoin.org, where they deposited money into different bank accounts via UPI. The fraudulent website then showcased false profits, deceiving the victim. Subsequent investigations unveiled the operation of the fake website from locations in Hong Kong, China, and Cambodia. Further scrutiny of the financial trail exposed multiple bank accounts associated with fictitious companies registered in Maharashtra, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh, facilitating transactions totaling millions of rupees. The accused successfully defrauded the victim of Rs 95,02,000, prompting swift police action, resulting in the freezing of Rs 67,00,000 across the fraudulent accounts.

Multi-Agency Collaboration and Accomplices

Collaboration between the Cyber Police Station in Ranchi, the Indian Crime Coordination Center, and the Cyber Police in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, proved instrumental in tracing the involvement of a cyber criminal residing in Taiwan. This individual had collaborated with a Chinese citizen to establish accounts in India, channeling funds obtained from part-time job fraud and cryptocurrency scams into various shell companies' accounts in India. The illicitly obtained money was then transferred to different Blockchain wallet addresses on cryptocurrency exchanges. Earlier in the investigation, two associates of the accused, Prateek Santosh Rawat and Abhishek Tupe, were apprehended in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

Preventive Measures and Advisory

In light of this cyber fraud case, authorities issued a series of precautions to protect individuals from falling victim to similar schemes. Citizens were advised to refrain from exchanging money with unknown international or virtual numbers, avoid clicking on unfamiliar links received via SMS, steer clear of investing in unknown bank accounts or cryptocurrency wallets, and promptly report any instances of fraud to the Cyber Crime Helpline (1930) or www.cybercrime.gov.in. Additionally, users were urged to verify the authenticity of matrimonial sites like jeevansathi.com before engaging with them.

Conclusion

The successful arrest of Jeevan Gopinath Galdhar and the dismantling of the international cyber fraud ring underscore the significance of collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies. This case serves as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of cyber threats and the need for constant vigilance to protect individuals from falling prey to sophisticated online scams. Authorities continue to emphasize awareness and education as crucial tools in the ongoing battle against cybercrime, urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities promptly.

Jharkhand school principal makes students stand in queue and beats them for being absent

According to the children, despite giving the reason of attending ‘Kalash Yatra’ on Monday, the principal beat them up indiscriminately with a stick.

RANCHI: In a shocking incident, as many as 50 students of class UKG to 5 were made to stand in a queue and beaten up indiscriminately by the school principal Chandan Kumar Sharma on Tuesday for being absent on Monday.

The children, studying in the Indian Public School at Bhogu village under Satbarwa Police Station in Palamu, were absent as they had gone to attend a ‘Kalash Yatra’ organised on the last Monday of the holy Shrawan month at their village Khamdih.

According to the children, in spite of giving the reasons for not attending the classes, the principal beat them up indiscriminately with a stick.

“Even after we told principal sir that we had gone to attend ‘Kalash Yatra’ in our village he beat us indiscriminately causing stick marks on our bodies,” told a class 5 student requesting anonymity.

They were beaten up after making them stand in a queue and also threatened not to say anything to their parents or they will face dire consequences, he added.

Later, they went home and informed their parents about the incident who got angered after watching the stick marks on their body and approached the local police.

Police, on the other hand, said that he has not received any formal complaint in this regard and is working on the information he has received about the incident.

“Since no formal complaint has been received in this regard; we are still identifying whom to talk to. Meanwhile, we have called the school principal and trying to get details of the matter,” said the officer in charge of Satbarwa Police Station Amit Kumar Soni.

As per the information gathered so far, the children were spotted playing ‘kancha’ (marbles) by someone who shot their video and sent the footage to their teacher, he added.

The OC said that as soon as the video footage of students playing marbles reached to the school principal, he got angry and beat them up. He, however, said that the principal should not have beaten up the children.

“We are still looking into the matter proper action will be taken once the investigation gets completed,” said the officer in charge.

Jharkhand: Bank officer who died by suicide was a ‘key’ CBI witness in Rs 4 crore fraud case

Family members have also held the police and bank officials responsible for his death as he was being harassed regularly and sought justice from Chief Minister Hemant Soren.

RANCHI: In an unfortunate incident, a bank manager died by suicide allegedly for being harassed regularly by police in the name of investigation even after being given a clean chit by the CBI in a loan fraud case involving approximately Rs 4 crores.

Calling himself an honest, upright and innocent person in the suicide note left by him, he has held Jharkhand police and bank officials responsible for this extreme step taken by him under severe mental stress and trauma.

The Bank Manager Supriyo Majumdar died by suicide by hanging himself at his Ranchi-based residence on Sunday. Family members have also held the police and bank officials responsible for his death as he was being harassed regularly and sought justice from Chief Minister Hemant Soren.

The deceased’s sister alleged that it is not a suicide but a murder as he was compelled to end his life.

“My question is directed to the Ramgarh police as to how could they harass anybody who has already been given a clean chit by the CBI. Who has given them the right to interrogate a person if he was given a clean chit by CBI?”

She also requested CM Hemant Soren to come forward so that such an instance does not happen again anywhere in Jharkhand, further adding that, her brother even did not get any support from the bank officials.

The suicide note left by Majumdar suggests that he ended his life after Jharkhand police officials in Ramgarh in connivance with the senior manager (credit), BK Singh, and chief manager and branch head, Prafulla Kumar Behra, started a parallel investigation in the case and mounted undue pressure on him to give his statement before the police though he had helped the CBI collecting vital evidence in a loan fraud case.

According to family members, after clearing the Bank PO exam, he joined the Ramgarh Branch of Bank of India where a financial misapplication was done in disbursing a loan for 15 tankers in which his signature was taken forcefully.

“Since the matter involved several crores, the case was referred to CBI, which, after primary interrogation gave him a clean chit and made him a government witness in the case,” said a family friend Rajeev Ranjan. Later, he was given ‘best performer’ award and posted in Ranchi along with a promotion, he added.

According to Ranjan, on Friday they had gone to Ramgarh police and showed the documents in which he was given a clean chit by CBI. The officer in charge asked them to go to the SP and when they reached his place, he was not there. They also went to the DSP but could not meet him, he said.

“A phone call was received from the Ramgarh police station asking them to come again on Monday, but on Sunday evening he ended his life under intense pressure,” Ranjan said.

Ramgarh SP, however, has assured that proper action will be taken if anybody is found guilty in the case.

“It has been alleged in the suicide note and by family members that the deceased was harassed by the police officials,” said Ramgarh SP Piyush Kumar Pandey.

Proper investigation will be done after registering an FIR in the case, said the SP, adding that they are waiting for a formal complaint in this regard.

“The banker was issued notice under section 41A of CrPC on August 12. Prior to this, the police neither talked to him nor met him,” said the SP.

Naxal attack on former MLA: NIA files second charge sheet against two accused in Jharkhand

According to the NIA's investigations, they were providing support to the CPI (Maoist) for furthering its terror and violence-related activities and waging a war against the government of India.

NEW DELHI: The NIA has filed its second supplementary charge sheet in a case related to a Naxal attack on former MLA Gurcharan Nayak in which two police personnel were killed in Jharkhand in January 2022, an official said on Monday.

The charge sheet was filed in a special NIA court in Ranchi against two armed cadres — 25-year-old Tivari Bankira alias Shaka and 20-year-old Sadan Korah alias Sajan — of the proscribed CPI (Maoist) terror group on Saturday, a spokesperson for the federal agency said.

The official said the pair, hailing from Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, has been charged under various sections of the Indian Panel Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

While Bankira was arrested on November 30, Korah has been in custody since February 13, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) spokesperson said.

According to the NIA’s investigations, they were providing support to the CPI (Maoist) for furthering its terror and violence-related activities and waging a war against the government of India.

“They were part of the conspiracy to carry out the terrorist attack on Nayak and his bodyguards. They were also part of the special action team established by the banned terror outfit to execute the crime,” the spokesperson said.

The NIA said the two accused had attended the meeting in which the conspiracy to attack Nayak with deadly weapons at High School Jhilrua was hatched.

“They had done a recce of the spot a day before the incident and had also participated in the training to execute the attack,” the NIA said in its charge sheet.

The former MLA was attacked on the school premises in West Sighbhum district on January 4, 2022.

The police had initially registered the case at the local station but the investigation was taken over by the NIA on June 30 last year.

On December 31, the NIA charge-sheeted 14 accused people in the case.

24-year-old woman tonsured, dragged to jungle on panchayat diktat in Jharkhand

A 24-year-old tribal woman was thrashed, garlanded with shoes, her head tonsured and was left to die in the jungle by her family for refusing to marry a man of her their choice.

RANCHI: A 24-year-old tribal woman was thrashed, garlanded with shoes, her head tonsured and was left to die in the jungle by her family for refusing to marry a man of her their choice. The torture meted out to her was under the diktat issued by the Jogidih village Panchayat in Palamu. She was later rescued by the police from the Selari jungle of Tarhasi village and admitted to Medinirai Medical College and Hospital.

The woman’s parents had died eight years ago and she was living with her brother and two sisters. The marriage was fixed at Manika in Latehar by her elder sister who is already married. “They were forcing me to get married. And when I refused, they beat me, tonsured me, and dragged me into the jungle after parading me with a garland of shoes in the village,” said the woman.

According to villagers, the woman was to get married on April 20 but the ‘baraat’ returned after she refused to do so. Under pressure, she ran off to her sister in Latehar and was later brought back to the village by her cousin brothers after 20 days. The villagers were under impression that the girl was in love with someone and hence was refusing to get married.

“After her return, a Panchayat was called on Sunday. This time they were forcing her to tell her lover’s name, but she kept silent. Annoyed with her silence, the panchayat then issued the diktat,” told a local villager requesting anonymity. The girl then spent the night in the jungle under a ‘mahua’ tree and was spotted by the cattle grazers in the morning, he added.

Police said that the girl has been admitted to the hospital for medical examination and process of FIR has started on the basis of the statement recorded by her family members. FIR, however, was not registered till late in the evening while this report was being filed.

“A hunt for those involved has been started after identifying them,” said Gulshan Gaurav, office in charge of Patan police station. Some scar marks have also been found on the girl’s body including private parts, which is also being investigated, he added.

I4C & Jharkhand Police Launches Pratibimb Web Portal A Game-Changer In Fight Against Cybercrime

In a pioneering move to address the escalating threat of cybercrime nationwide, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), in collaboration with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Jharkhand Police, has introduced the groundbreaking Pratibimb platform. This innovative web-based tool is poised to revolutionize the approach of law enforcement agencies in combating online criminal activities, presenting a potent solution in the ongoing struggle against digital threats.

Pratibimb's Unique Capabilities

Unlike conventional methods, Pratibimb not only aggregates data but leverages geospatial mapping to precisely identify the physical locations associated with mobile numbers linked to cybercrimes. Restricted to authorized officers, this platform provides an invaluable advantage in tracking down digital wrongdoers and taking swift action against them.

Mapping the Cyber Threat Landscape

Pratibimb operates by collecting data from every corner of the country on a daily basis. This extensive pool of information proves instrumental in identifying and tracking cybercriminals across India. The collaborative efforts with telecom operators play a pivotal role in initiating actions against these criminals.

Highlighting the importance of state collaboration in combating digital threats, a senior police officer remarked, "The Pratibimb web portal, which centralizes the collection and processing of crime data through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C), stands as a pioneering solution that promises to bridge the gap between different states in their fight against cybercrime."

Also Read: Kashmiri Brother-in-Law could not show Kamal, and pressure on Nagpur police failed

Advantages of Pratibimb

The primary advantage of the Pratibimb web portal lies in its capability to project mobile numbers associated with cybercrimes onto a Geographic Information System (GIS) map covering the entire country. This visual representation empowers law enforcement and service providers to determine the physical location of these numbers, even if they are being used for criminal activities in different regions.

Once the mobile details of a cybercriminal are confirmed, investigators can take immediate action by blocking the SIM used in the crime and restricting the usage of the associated mobile phone. This proactive approach enhances the efficiency of law enforcement agencies in curbing cybercrimes.

Jharkhand Police Workshop

To augment their efforts, Jharkhand Police organized a workshop that brought together top officials, including the Director-General of Police (DGP) of Jharkhand. The discussions centered around critical topics such as the helpline number 1930, hotspot crimes against women and children, and the CCPWC Scheme.

Participation from officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), CBI, and other law enforcement agencies from Bihar, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh highlighted the importance of cross-border cooperation and cyber awareness in combating cybercrime. This collaborative approach is crucial in addressing the dynamic nature of cyber threats.

The Launch and Beyond

The introduction of the Pratibimb web portal and the deliberations at the JCCT workshop signify a significant leap forward in the battle against cybercrime in India. With the integration of geospatial intelligence and enhanced capabilities, both law enforcement agencies and the general public are better equipped to confront the ever-evolving threats in the digital landscape. Pratibimb stands as a testament to India's commitment to staying ahead in the fight against cybercriminals and ensuring a secure digital future for its citizens.
