Fill in the blank with correct proposition of law : The malicious injury to property as per maxim Sic Utre tuo ut allenum non leadas (to use your own property so as not to injure your neighbour's property as provided in______.
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: B
The maxim sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas, use your own property so as not to injure that of another, is linked in the key with mischief under Section 425 of the IPC, which is option B. Mischief is causing wrongful loss or damage to property with the intent to do so.
Section 427 deals with mischief causing damage of fifty rupees or more, Section 440 with mischief after preparation to cause death or hurt, and Section 433 with destroying a lighthouse or sea-mark. They are not the general provision, so A, C and D are wrong.
