“Movable property”

Movable property means tangible things that can be moved. It does not include land or anything attached to the earth or permanently fastened to something attached to the earth. The definition decides whether an item is treated as movable for offences like theft or for property disputes. Permanently fixed items are not movable.

Rohan takes a laptop from Meera's shop but leaves a heavy cash counter bolted to the floor. The laptop is movable property so theft can be charged; the bolted counter is not movable and is treated as attached to the land.
