The correct answer is (a).
Theft is punishable under Section 378 of the Indian Penal Code. Section 378 defines theft as “taking dishonestly any movable property out of the possession of any person without that person’s consent, with the intention of permanently depriving the person of that property.”
Section 379 defines robbery as “theft, accompanied by violence or intimidation of any kind.”
Section 380 defines burglary as “entering any building or part of a building as a trespasser at night with intent to commit theft.”
Section 381 defines house-breaking by night as “entering any building or part of a building as a trespasser at night with intent to commit an offence punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or rigorous imprisonment for a term of not less than two years.”
Theft is a serious crime that can result in a long prison sentence. If you are accused of theft, it is important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.
