In order to Constitute theft, what is not an ingredient in IPC?

Verified Answer
A. Dishonest intention
B. Moving of the property
C. Common intention
D. Movable property

Explanation:

The essential ingredients of theft under Section 378 of the IPC are: (1) dishonest intention to take property, (2) the property must be movable, (3) it should be taken out of the possession of another person, (4) without that person's consent, and (5) there must be a moving of the property. Common intention (Section 34) is a principle of joint liability, not an ingredient of the offence of theft itself.
