Stolen property as per Section 317(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 includes

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 317(1) of the BNS (formerly section 410 IPC) includes property whose possession has been transferred by theft, extortion, robbery or cheating, property criminally misappropriated, and property in respect of which criminal breach of trust was committed. All listed categories therefore qualify. The definition operates whether the relevant transfer or misappropriation occurred inside or outside India; the property ceases to be stolen property if it later comes into the possession of a person legally entitled to its possession.
