Question Description
Directions: Read the passage and answer the following question.Theft is defined as the physical removal of an object that is capable of being stolen without the consent of the owner and with the intention of depriving the owner of it permanently. The thief need not intend to keep the property himself; an intention to destroy it, sell it, or abandon it in circumstances where it will not be found is sufficient. Automobile theft, for example, frequently involves selling the stolen car or its parts. In some instances, an intention to deprive the owner of the property temporarily also is sufficient, as in the case of stealing a car for a "joyride" and then abandoning it in such a way that the owner is able to reclaim it. The term extortion has been defined explicitly and how it is constituted. Section 383383 of the Indian penal code states that if a person intentionally puts another person in a position of fear or of threat to cause him injury, or deceitfully persuade him so that he may deliver the property or any other valuable goods to another person or any document which has been signed and can be turned into a valuable security.Larceny is the trespassory taking and carrying away of personal goods from the possession of another with the intention to steal. For larceny to occur, three conditions must be met: (1)(1) the goods must be removed from the possession of another without the owner's consent; (2)(2) the goods must not only be taken but also "carried away," a requirement) that is highly formalistic and is satisfied by any movement of the entire object, however slight; and (3)(3) there must be an intention to steal, which is ordinarily defined as an intention to deprive the owner permanently of his property. The unauthorized borrowing of another's property is not larceny if there is an intent to return the property, nor is larceny committed by someone who takes goods in the mistaken belief that they are his own property.Robbery is the commission of theft in circumstances of violence and involves the application or the threat of force in order to commit the theft or to secure escape. Robbery takes many forms, from muggings to bank robberies. The penalty for robbery is usually more severe than that for larceny. Many criminologists consider statistics on the robbery to be among the better indicators of the overall crime rate because, in comparison to larceny or burglary, victims are more likely to report it to the police and the police are more likely to record it in their official statistics.Burglary is defined as the breaking and entering of the premises of another with an intent to commit a felony within. In English common law, burglary consisted of breaking into a dwelling at night to commit a felony, and a separate offence of housebreaking covered daytime entries. In the 20th century, however, the term burglary generally became applied to break-ins committed at any hour of the day and at any fixed structure, vehicle, or vessel. Although the motivation of most burglars is theft, the intention to commit various other offences converts a trespass into a burglary. For example, it is possible to commit burglary with the intention to rape.Legal systems based on common law traditionally distinguished between theft (taking without consent) and fraud (obtaining with consent through deception), a distinction still preserved in many jurisdictions. The two crimes are now rarely regarded as mutually exclusive, however, and it is generally accepted that a crime may involve both theft and fraud (e.g., the theft and subsequent sale of an automobile). Theft is also usually distinguished from embezzlement, in which the offender carries away goods the possession of which had been legally entrusted to him. As with fraud, theft is a separate crime from embezzlement, but the two offences are not mutually exclusive.Q. A gives his radio to B, who owns a radio repairing shop for repairs. B carries it to his shop and after it has been repaired, A defaults on the payment. B refuses to deliver back the radio, retains them lawfully as a security for the debt. A who was aware that B was retaining the radio as a security for his debt, enters the shop openly, and takes it by force out of B's possession, and takes it away. Has A committed theft?a)Yes, because he, with dishonest intention, takes the radio out of B's possession, with the intention of depriving B of the property as a security for his debt.b)Yes, because the radio is in B's possession, therefore, B is their rightful owner.c)No, because the radio belong to A.d)None of these.Correct answer is option 'C'.

The thief need not intend to keep the property himself; an intention to destroy it, sell it, or abandon it in circumstances where it will not be found is sufficient. Automobile theft, for example, frequently involves selling the stolen car or its parts. In some instances, an intention to deprive the owner of the property temporarily also is sufficient, as in the case of stealing a car for a "joyride" and then abandoning it in such a way that the owner is able to reclaim it. The term extortion has been defined explicitly and how it is constituted. Section 383383 of the Indian penal code states that if a person intentionally puts another person in a position of fear or of threat to cause him injury, or deceitfully persuade him so that he may deliver the property or any other valuable goods to another person or any document which has been signed and can be turned into a valuable security.Larceny is the trespassory taking and carrying away of personal goods from the possession of another with the intention to steal. For larceny to occur, three conditions must be met: (1)(1) the goods must be removed from the possession of another without the owner's consent; (2)(2) the goods must not only be taken but also "carried away," a requirement) that is highly formalistic and is satisfied by any movement of the entire object, however slight; and (3)(3) there must be an intention to steal, which is ordinarily defined as an intention to deprive the owner permanently of his property. The unauthorized borrowing of another's property is not larceny if there is an intent to return the property, nor is larceny committed by someone who takes goods in the mistaken belief that they are his own property.Robbery is the commission of theft in circumstances of violence and involves the application or the threat of force in order to commit the theft or to secure escape. Robbery takes many forms, from muggings to bank robberies. The penalty for robbery is usually more severe than that for larceny. Many criminologists consider statistics on the robbery to be among the better indicators of the overall crime rate because, in comparison to larceny or burglary, victims are more likely to report it to the police and the police are more likely to record it in their official statistics.Burglary is defined as the breaking and entering of the premises of another with an intent to commit a felony within. In English common law, burglary consisted of breaking into a dwelling at night to commit a felony, and a separate offence of housebreaking covered daytime entries. In the 20th century, however, the term burglary generally became applied to break-ins committed at any hour of the day and at any fixed structure, vehicle, or vessel. Although the motivation of most burglars is theft, the intention to commit various other offences converts a trespass into a burglary. For example, it is possible to commit burglary with the intention to rape.Legal systems based on common law traditionally distinguished between theft (taking without consent) and fraud (obtaining with consent through deception), a distinction still preserved in many jurisdictions. The two crimes are now rarely regarded as mutually exclusive, however, and it is generally accepted that a crime may involve both theft and fraud (e.g., the theft and subsequent sale of an automobile). Theft is also usually distinguished from embezzlement, in which the offender carries away goods the possession of which had been legally entrusted to him. As with fraud, theft is a separate crime from embezzlement, but the two offences are not mutually exclusive.Q. A gives his radio to B, who owns a radio repairing shop for repairs.
