Legal Principle: Whoever takes away anything from the land of any person without that person's consent is said to commit theft. A thing so long as it is attached to the earth is not the subject of theft, but it becomes capable of being the subject of theft as soon as it is severed from the earth.Factual Situation: Y cuts down a tree standing on the land of X with the intention of dishonestly taking the tree out of X's possession without the consent of X. But Y is yet to take away the tree out of X's possession. (CLAT 2013)
