The term 'Dishonestly' has been defined in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as

  • A.Fraudulently.
  • B.Doing anything with the intention of causing wrongful gain to one person or wrongful loss to another person.
  • C.Doing any act without knowledge of its consequences.
  • D.Doing any act against public morality.

Answer: B

'Dishonestly' means doing anything with the intention of causing wrongful gain to one person or wrongful loss to another person.

This is the definition in Section 2(7) of the BNS, carried over from Section 24 of the IPC. 'Wrongful gain' and 'wrongful loss' are themselves defined as gain or loss of property by unlawful means.

'Fraudulently' is a separate term, defined as doing a thing with intent to defraud. Acting without knowledge of consequences, or against public morality, is not the legal meaning of dishonestly.
