\nThe correct answer is B) Mischief under Section 429 of the IPC.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSection 425 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 defines “Mischief”. Section 428 punishes mischief by killing or maiming any animal of the value of ten rupees or upwards (fifty rupees or upwards in some states). Section 429, which carries a higher punishment, specifically deals with mischief by killing or maiming cattle, etc., or any animal of the value of fifty rupees or upwards. A hen is an “animal”. Since its value is stated as above two hundred fifty rupees (which is “fifty rupees or upwards”), the act of killing it falls under the ambit of Section 429 IPC.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSection 428 is typically used for killing or maiming animals of lesser value (like a dog or cat worth less than fifty rupees), while Section 429 applies to specified animals (like cattle) irrespective of value, or any other animal whose value is fifty rupees or more. The higher value of the hen places the offence under Section 429.
