'X' meets 'Y' in the way. 'Y' points out a dangerous knife to 'X' and demands his watch. 'X' gives the…

The knife threat puts X in fear of immediate hurt in Y’s presence and induces delivery of the watch there and then. This is extortion aggravated into robbery under section 390, matching its immediate-threat-and-delivery illustration. Extortion describes the underlying means but robbery is the more specific offence; the watch is delivered under fear rather than merely taken as ordinary theft.

Current law: BNS section 309(3) retains this extortion-based robbery rule, including immediate fear, presence and then-and-there delivery. Earlier IPC offences remain saved.
