<h1>Section 317: Defines Stolen Property and Penalties for Receiving or Concealing It, Including Life Imprisonment for Repeat Offenders.</h1> Section 317 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, defines stolen property as items transferred through theft, extortion, robbery, cheating, or criminal misappropriation, regardless of whether these acts occurred within or outside India. If such property is later possessed by someone legally entitled to it, it ceases to be considered stolen. The statute prescribes penalties for those who dishonestly receive or retain stolen property, with varying degrees of punishment based on the nature of the crime, including imprisonment and fines. Habitual offenders and those assisting in the concealment or disposal of stolen property face severe penalties, including life imprisonment.
