Facts: ‘Z’ is riding in a palanquin. ‘A’, intending to rob ‘Z’ seizes the pole and stops the palanquin. Here ‘A’ has caused cessation of motion to ‘Z’ and ‘A’ has done this by his own bodily power.

‘A’ has used criminal force to ‘Z’

‘A’ has no intention to use ctiminal force to ‘Z’

‘A’ has used force with the consent of ‘Z’

None of the above is correct

Explanation:

As the palanquin was halted by A’s own bodily strength in order to rob Z.
As per the principle the employment of such force in order to commit an offence constitutes criminal use of force.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
