    Judgment

    Court Decision Summary The II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bagalkot dismissed the criminal appeal and confirmed the trial court's conviction of Shankar Chavan under Section 409 IPC (criminal breach of trust). The court found that Chavan, as a public servant and warehouse manager, failed to account for shortage of rice (50.97 quintals), sugar (1.04 quintals), and salt (26.85 quintals) during a September 2008 inspection, despite being entrusted with maintaining these government essential commodities for fair price shops. The court rejected his defense citing monsoon damage, ruling he failed to provide documentary evidence and violated his duty of care. Conviction and 3-year imprisonment with ₹10,000 fine were upheld.
