'A' meets 'B' on high roads, shows a pistol and demands B's purse. 'B' in consequence, surrenders his purse. Here 'A' has committed :
Answer: C
A has committed robbery.
This is an illustration to Section 390 of the IPC. A obtains the purse by putting B in fear of instant hurt, which is extortion, and because A is present and the fear is of instant hurt at the time, the extortion amounts to robbery.
It is not mere theft, because B hands the purse over through fear rather than A taking it without consent. It is more than plain extortion because of the presence and instant fear. Dacoity requires five or more persons committing robbery together, and A acts alone.
