“Dishonestly”
AI Assist
Summary
An act is dishonest when done with the intention of causing wrongful gain to one person or wrongful loss to another. It kicks in whenever the doer has that specific intention. Such conduct is treated as dishonest for offences that require dishonesty as an element and can support criminal charges where intent matters.
Example
Ravi finds a neighbour's unlocked bicycle and takes it intending to sell it so the neighbour loses value and Ravi gains. That intention makes his act dishonest and can support charges like theft or other offences that require dishonesty.
Bare Act
