Which of the following is not "movable property" under Section 2(21) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Section 2(21) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 22 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860), "movable property" includes corporeal property of every description, except land and things attached to the earth or permanently fastened to anything which is attached to the earth. A standing tree attached to the earth falls within this statutory exclusion and is therefore not movable property until it is severed from the earth (as also explained in Explanation 1 to Section 303(1) of the Sanhita). By contrast, soil that has been severed from the earth, a cheque, and fish confined in a tank are corporeal movable property.
