• A dacoity is a form of robbery involving a group of people.
• The stages of the commission of an offence:
  • Intention:
    • At the stage of intention, no crime has been committed yet.

    • Intent becomes relevant when coupled with other actions that progress towards the commission of the offence.
  • Preparation:
    • Section 399 specifically deals with the stage of preparation to commit dacoity.
    • Making preparations is a step beyond mere intention.
    • The mere preparation may not attract punishment under the IPC.
    • It becomes more relevant when it progresses further.
  • Attempt:
    • Attempting to commit a crime involves taking concrete steps towards the commission of the offence but falling short of completing it.
    • Attempt to commit dacoity is punishable under Section 399 read with Section 402 of the IPC.
  • Commission:
    • The actual commission of the crime is the final stage.
    • If the offence is completed, it attracts punishment under the relevant section of the IPC.
• At the stage of "Preparation," it may not be sufficient to attract punishment under the IPC.
• The relevant stage for punishment would generally be the "Attempt" or "Commission" of the offence.

• Explanation 3. -- A person is said to cause a thing to move by removing an obstacle which prevented it from moving or by separating it from any other thing, as well as by actually moving it.
• Explanation 4.—A person, who by any means causes an animal to move, is said to move that animal, and to move everything which, in consequence of the motion so caused, is moved by that animal.

Key Points The offence of mischief is not committed if there is no wrongful loss or damage, or if there is only an invasion of a civil right. Mischief involves mental destructive animus.

Criminal Trespass depends on the intention and upon the nature of the act. If, for instance, a person with intent to save his family and property from imminent destruction commits criminal trespass on his neighbour's land, and cuts a portion of dam belonging to his neighbour, he is not guilty of criminal trespass.

Additional InformationThe concept of mischief is defined in Section 425 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the corresponding punishment is outlined in Section 426 of the IPC. Additionally, Sections 427 to 440 of the IPC specify the punishment for aggravated forms of mischief, considering the nature and value of the property damage.
According to Section 425 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) enacted in 1860, mischief is committed when an individual intentionally causes destruction or damage to any property, thereby reducing its value and usefulness, resulting in unnecessary loss or damage to the public or any person. This applies to situations where the person performing the act is aware that it is likely to cause harm to the property.
Illustrations: 
For a simple understanding, some examples of mischief under IPC that can be seen are:

• ‘A’ destroys a car jointly owned by ‘A’ and ‘B’, intending wrongful loss to ‘B
• ‘A’, a student takes a copy of the question paper before the exam to diminish its utility.
• ‘A’ damages important documents belonging to ‘B’, intending wrongful loss to ‘B’.
• ‘A’ causes cattle to enter the property of ‘B’ to cause damage to his crops.
• ‘A’ deliberately throws a ball at the neighbour’s window.
