Under Section 309 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following cases does not amount to robbery?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under Section 309 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 390 IPC), theft or extortion amounts to robbery only when the offender, for that end, voluntarily causes or attempts to cause to a living person death, hurt, or wrongful restraint, or puts a person in fear of instant death, instant hurt, or instant wrongful restraint. Removing ornaments from a body after the person's death does not involve force or fear directed against a living person to commit theft or extortion; instead, dishonestly misappropriating property possessed by a deceased person at the time of death is a distinct offence punishable under Section 315 BNS (formerly Section 404 IPC).
