<h1>Section 314: Misappropriation of Movable Property Leads to 6 Months to 2 Years Imprisonment and a Fine</h1> Section 314 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the dishonest misappropriation of movable property. It stipulates that anyone who dishonestly misappropriates or converts such property for personal use faces imprisonment ranging from six months to two years and a fine. Illustrations clarify scenarios where initial possession may not be theft, but subsequent dishonest appropriation constitutes an offense. The section explains that temporary misappropriation is still an offense and outlines conditions under which finding and keeping lost property becomes criminal if the finder does not attempt to identify or return it to the rightful owner.
