Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 315 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 404 IPC) covers dishonest misappropriation or conversion of property known to have been in a deceased person’s possession at death and not since possessed by someone legally entitled to it. Ornaments dishonestly taken from the deceased’s body fit that specific category in the stated ordinary facts. It differs from taking property out of a living person’s possession by theft (section 303) or using force for robbery (section 309).
