Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following is not 'stolen property'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 317(1) of the BNS (formerly section 410 IPC) designates as stolen property any property whose possession has been transferred by theft, extortion, robbery or cheating, and any property which has been criminally misappropriated or in respect of which criminal breach of trust has been committed. If such property subsequently comes into the possession of a person legally entitled to its possession, it ceases to be stolen property. Property obtained by robbery, extortion or criminal breach of trust is therefore stolen property, while stolen property that has reached the person legally entitled to it is not. Property obtained by cheating is now also expressly included in the definition.
