\nThe correct answer is B) It must be with intention to cause loss or damage only to the owner of the property. This statement is not correct regarding the offence of mischief.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– As per Section 425 of the Indian Penal Code, mischief is committed when someone, with intent to cause or knowing they are likely to cause wrongful loss or damage, causes destruction or a change in property that diminishes its value or utility.
\n– The key part is “with intent to cause… wrongful loss or damage to the public or to any person”. This means the loss or damage can be caused to the public in general or to any individual who may or may not be the legal owner of the property. Causing damage to property in the possession of a tenant, a bailee, or someone with a temporary right can also constitute mischief if it causes them wrongful loss.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Options A, C, and D correctly describe elements or consequences of mischief:
\n – A) Wrongful loss or damage to the property is the result.
\n – C) Loss or damage can occur through destruction of the property.
\n – D) Loss or damage can occur by changing the property’s situation or form, diminishing its value or utility.
