Criminal Breach of Trust by Banker


23-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I deposited some amount in an e-wallet like paytm, mobikwik etc (prepaid instruments) later performed a transaction at a merchant website that failed however my money was deducted from my e-wallet. The merchant later confirmed on email that they have not received any amount for the said transaction whereas the people at e-wallet administration maintain that they money has been charged by the merchant and cannot be returned to me and I need to wait for some 30-40 days. I suspect the e-wallet company as less credible. In such a scenario. 1. Does this make a case of criminal breach of trust on the company managing e-wallet as my money was primarily with the company managing e-wallet and it has failed to return my amount in-spite of clear e-mail by the merchant stating that they have not received any amount for transaction. If I were to file a consumer case can I invoke the power of forum(which is also a civil court) to proceed with criminal charges against the administration of e-wallet

Yes you may make complaint in police and also file complaint before consumer court which can go parallel and in police case they will be punished by sentencing imprisonment while in complaint before consumer forum you will get the return of your money with damages/compensation etc.
