Q. What distinguishes attempt from preparation in criminal law?

इरादा
B
Proximity to completion
पूर्णता की निकटता
C
Both intent and proximity
इरादा और निकटता दोनों
D

Explanation

The difference between attempt and preparation lies in the proximity of the act to the commission of the crime and the presence of criminal intent.

  • Preparation involves arranging tools or steps before committing the offense.

  • Attempt involves a direct action toward completing the offense.
    For liability, both mens rea (intent) and actus reus (action close to completion) must exist in case of attempt.
