Which of the following offences is punishable at preparation stage ?
Answer: D
The offence punishable at the preparation stage is dacoity.
Generally the law punishes attempts but not mere preparation. A few grave offences are exceptions, and section 399 IPC makes making preparation to commit dacoity punishable with rigorous imprisonment up to ten years and fine. Others include preparing to wage war against the Government of India (section 122) and making or possessing instruments for counterfeiting.
Preparation to commit murder, theft or cheating is not an offence in itself; criminal liability begins only at the stage of attempt.
