Which of the following offence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is an offence causing harm or damage to body, mind, reputation or property ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 318(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 415 IPC) defines cheating to include dishonestly or fraudulently inducing a person to do or omit something which "causes or is likely to cause damage or harm to that person in body, mind, reputation or property".
Defamation harms reputation alone, criminal trespass concerns entry on property, and dacoity is robbery by five or more persons; none is defined by harm to body, mind, reputation or property together.
