DEPOSITION OF WITNESS (CC No. 45/2024) This court order documents witness depositions in a criminal case regarding allegations of financial fraud against a school principal (accused/appellant) at a Kasturba Gandhi Secondary School. Multiple witnesses (PW1-PW14) testified that the principal allegedly solicited and received cash donations totaling approximately ₹35.19 lakhs from school teachers between 2014-2018, falsely claiming the funds would support the school trust, but failed to remit the money or provide receipts. Outcome: The case proceeded through witness examination and cross-examination phases; the investigating officer filed a final report under IPC sections 409 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating). The depositions establish the prosecution's case regarding the principal's alleged embezzlement scheme, though the defendant contested the allegations during cross-examination.
