Q. The essential elements of theft under Section 378 include

धारा 378 के अंतर्गत चोरी के आवश्यक तत्वों में शामिल हैं

Moving property out of possession
संपत्ति को कब्जे से बाहर ले जाना

Moving property without consent
सहमति के बिना संपत्ति ले जाना

Moving property dishonestly
बेईमानी से संपत्ति ले जाना

All of these
इन सब

Moving property out of another’s possession: The offender must physically move the property, even a slight shift is sufficient.
Without the owner’s consent: The movement must be without the owner’s permission. If consent is given, no theft occurs.
Dishonest intention: The offender must intend to dishonestly take the property. Honest borrowing does not constitute theft.

All three elements are mandatory—if any one is missing, the act does not qualify as theft.
