A and B are joint owners of a bullock-cart. B takes the bullock-cart out of possession of A. What offence has B committed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?
Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

An illustration to section 314 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 403 IPC) says that where A and Z are joint owners of a horse and A takes it out of Z's possession intending to use it, A does not dishonestly misappropriate it; it becomes misappropriation only if he later sells it and keeps the whole proceeds. Taking the jointly owned bullock-cart without any stated dishonest intention is therefore not theft, cheating or dishonest misappropriation, so "None of the given options is correct".
