Summary:Criminal Breach

Muhammad Jameel filed an FIR against Sohail under Section 406 PPC for criminal breach of trust related to misappropriation of fruit commodity and money while acting as a carrier. Sohail petitioned to quash the FIR, claiming it was false and based on a business transaction. The court reviewed the FIR and relevant law, particularly Section 405 and 406 PPC, which define criminal breach of trust and its punishment. It found that the petitioner was entrusted with property as a carrier and allegedly misappropriated it, fulfilling the offence criteria. The court held that quashing an FIR is an extraordinary remedy and cannot be granted merely on allegations of falsehood without evidence. The petition was dismissed, and the FIR upheld.
