It clarifies that fiduciary capacity cannot be used as an exception in all circumstances, particularly when property is transferred for illegal purposes or when a concluded contract passes title to others.

The Adjudicating Authority's analysis of witness statements and the Income Tax assessment supporting the respondent's position are also mentioned.
