Under Indian law, being part of a discussion about committing a crime can sometimes implicate you, depending on the specifics. To better understand your situation, may I ask if you were aware of his intentions to steal the server RAM during the discussion?
yes i was
Under Indian law, being aware of a crime and not reporting it can sometimes make you complicit. Here are some key points:
- Section 120B IPC (Criminal Conspiracy): Even if you didn't participate, knowing about the theft and not reporting it can still implicate you.
- Section * IPC (Dishonestly Receiving Stolen Property): If you had any involvement in receiving or concealing the stolen RAM, this section could apply.
Were there any witnesses or evidence that might indicate your involvement?
what can be the consequences in criminal conspiracy
Under Indian law, the consequences of being involved in a criminal conspiracy can be severe. Here are some key points:
- Section 120B IPC (Criminal Conspiracy): You could face imprisonment and fines, based on the severity of the crime conspired.
- Section * IPC (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention): If found guilty, punishment could be similar to the main perpetrator.
Were there any concrete steps taken by you or others that could be seen as furthering the conspiracy?
like it was just server ram that he stole
Even though it was "just server RAM," involvement in a criminal conspiracy under Indian law can still have serious consequences. Here are some points to consider:

Were there any actions you took that could be perceived as aiding the theft?

if someone is stealing something and they gave me part of money that they get from selling that item and im aware of it is that problem for me
Yes, it can be a problem for you. Under English law:
- Handling Stolen Goods: You could be charged if you knowingly receive or dispose of stolen property.
- Accessory to a Crime: You might be implicated as an accessory if you were aware of the theft and benefitted from it.
Did you receive any stolen items or just the money?
under indian law>?
Under Indian law, being aware of a crime and benefiting from it can indeed be problematic. Here are some key points:
- Section * IPC (Dishonestly Receiving Stolen Property): If you knowingly receive stolen property, you can face imprisonment and fines.
- Section 120B IPC (Criminal Conspiracy): Being part of a plan to commit a crime can implicate you, even if you didn't participate directly.
Did you receive any stolen items or just the money?
i didnt received it but someone was planning to do that to me
It’s good that you haven’t received the stolen items or money yet. However, being aware of the plan can still be problematic. Here are some points under English law:
- Conspiracy: Planning or agreeing to commit a crime can implicate you.
- Handling Stolen Goods: If you were to receive stolen property, you could face charges.
What steps have you taken to distance yourself from the situation and ensure you’re not implicated?
but i didnt agreed nor commited i was just aware
Under English law, simply being aware of a crime without taking part in it or benefiting from it can still be problematic but less so than active participation. Key points to consider:
- Accessory to a Crime: Awareness without reporting can sometimes lead to charges.
- Handling Stolen Goods: If you receive stolen property, even unknowingly, you could be implicated.
What steps have you taken to ensure you're not linked to this situation?

- Proactive Steps: Reporting the crime themselves might show remorse and cooperation.

but they stole it as collateral as the company was not giving salary what about it
If someone stole an item as "collateral" due to non-payment of salary, they could still face legal consequences under Indian law. Here are a few key points:
- Theft (Section * IPC): Taking someone's property without consent is still considered theft.
- Civil Remedies: The employee can file a legal complaint for unpaid wages.
- Mitigating Factors: The context of unpaid wages might be considered during sentencing but doesn't absolve the theft.
