<h1>Understanding Theft Under Section 303 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita: Definition, Examples, and Penalties Explained</h1> Theft, as defined under Section 303 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, involves dishonestly taking movable property from someone's possession without consent. The statute clarifies that property attached to the earth is not subject to theft until severed. Moving an object, including by causing an animal to move, can constitute theft. Consent for taking property can be express or implied. Illustrations provide examples of theft, including dishonestly taking a tree, a dog, or a bullock's treasure. Punishment for theft includes imprisonment up to three years or fines, with increased penalties for repeat offenses. First-time offenders may face community service if the stolen property's value is under five thousand rupees and it is returned.
