IPC Section 410 — Stolen property

Summary

Property is called "stolen property" if it was taken through theft, extortion, robbery, criminal misappropriation, or criminal breach of trust. This applies whether the act happened inside India or outside India. However, if the property later comes into the hands of someone who has a legal right to possess it, it stops being considered stolen property.

Official Text

Property, the possession whereof has been transferred by theft, or by extortion, or by robbery, and property which has been criminally misappropriated or in respect of which criminal breach of trust has been committed, is designated as “stolen property”, whether the transfer has been made, or the misappropriation or breach of trust has been committed, within or without India. But, if such property subsequently comes into the possession of a person legally entitled to the possession thereof, it then ceases to be stolen property.
