Explanation

Under Section 410 IPC, stolen property means property obtained by committing any offence punishable under Chapter XII (offences relating to coin, stamps, and government property) or Chapter XVII (offences against property) which includes robbery, extortion, and criminal breach of trust. Cheating is covered under Chapter XVII but obtaining possession through cheating does not fall within stolen property definition.
