Solution

The correct option is C No, because there was no mala fide intention
The legal principle in the very second word says that the act must be done intentionally. Thus, making it the very essence of the principle.
Akash had no intention to scare or cause injury, fear or annoyance to Mohsin. Neither could he have reasonably foreseen that his actions will scare Mohsin.
Therefore, Akash is not liable for any offence as he had no mala fide intention.
