'A' makes an attempt to steal some jewels by breaking open a box, and finds after so opening the box, that there is no jewel in it.
Answer: C
'A' is guilty for attempt to commit theft.
This is the illustration (a) to section 511 IPC. Breaking open the box is an act done towards stealing, and the attempt is complete once he does that act with intent to steal. That the box turns out to be empty does not save him: impossibility of the object does not excuse an attempt.
He is not guilty of theft, because nothing was taken. 'No offence' ignores section 511, and conspiracy needs an agreement between two or more persons, which a single person acting alone does not have.
