Discussion
Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and with the help of codes given below point out the correct explanation.
Assertion (A) : In theft the property is taken out of the possession of another person and the offence is complete as soon as the property is moved.
Reason (R) : In criminal misappropriation there is no invasion of another's possession. The property often comes innocently or casualty into possession.
Answer: B
Both are individually true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion states the law of theft under Section 378 IPC: the property must be moved out of another's possession, and the offence is complete the moment it is moved with dishonest intention. The Reason states the law of criminal misappropriation under Section 403: the property comes into the accused's possession innocently or casually, and the offence lies in later dishonest conversion, with no invasion of possession.
Both are true, but the Reason describes a different offence and does not explain why theft is complete on moving, so option A fails. The options calling either statement false are wrong.
