A, B and C are charged by a Magistrate of the first class with and convicted by him of robbing D, A.B and C may afterwards be charged with and tried for ______________ on the same facts?

Correct answer: C. Decoity

  • A. Theft
  • B. None of the above
  • C. Decoity
  • D. None of above

Explanation

Section 403(2), read with the rules on alternative charges, permits a later trial for a distinct offence that could have been charged on the same facts; the statutory illustration uses robbery followed by dacoity. The illustration is based on the procedural rule, even though the factual wording may appear unusual under the ordinary definition of dacoity.
