Knowledge
Knowledge, 'knowledge' is an awareness on the part of the person concerned indicating his state of mind. 'Reason to believe' is another facet of the state of mind. 'Knowledge' will be slightly on a higher plane than 'reason to believe'. A person can be supposed to know where there is a direct appeal to his senses and a person is presumed to have a reason to believe if he has sufficient cause to believe the same, Joti Parshad v. State of Haryana, AIR 1993 SC 1167 (1169): (1993) Supp 2 SCC 497.A state of mind entertained by a person with regard to existing facts which he has himself observed, or the existence of which has been communicated to him by persons whose veracity he has no reason to doubt, Emperor v.

Acting honestly
Acting honestly, an authority is not acting honestly where an authority has a suspicion that there is something wrong and does not make further enquiries. Being aware of possible harm to others, and acting in spite thereof, is acting with reckless disregard of consequences. It is worse than negligence, for negligent action is that, the consequences of which, the law presumes to be present in the mind of the negligent person, whether actually it was there or not. This legal presumption is drawn through the well-known hypothetical reasonable man. Reckless disregard of consequences and mala fides stand equal, where the actual state of mind of the actor is relevant, Municipality of Bhiwandi and Nerampur v. Kailash Sizing Works, (1975) 2 SCC 596: AIR 1975 SC 529 (531)....
Chance
Chance, misfortune, accident, deficiency of will. Where a man commits an unlawful act by misfortune and chance, and not by design, his will not co-operating with the deed, such act wants one main ingredient of a crime. If an accidental mischief should follow from the performance of a lawful act, the party stands excused from all guilt; but if the act be felonious, and a consequence ensues not foreseen or intended, as the death of a man or the like, his want of foresight shall be no excuse, for, being guilty of one offence, in doing antecedently what is in itself unlawful, he is criminally guilty of whatever consequence may follow.But a very important distinction is made in such cases, viz., whether the unlawful act is als in its original nature wrong and mischivous; for a person is not answerable for the incidental consequences of an unlawful act which is merely malum prohibitum; as, where any unfortunate accident happens from an unqualified person being in pursuit of game, he is amena...
Intent to annoy
Intent to annoy, the correct position in law may, be stated thus: In order to establish that the entry on the property was with the intent to annoy, intimi-date or insult, it is necessary for the Court to be satisfied that causing such annoyance, intimidation or insult was the aim of the entry; that it is not sufficient for that purpose to show merely that the natural consequence of the entry was likely to be annoyance, intimidation or insult, and that this likely consequence was known to the person enter-ing; that in deciding whether the aim of the entry was the causing of such annoyance, intimidation or insult, the Court has to consider all the relevant circumstances including the presence of know-ledge that its natural consequences would be such annoyance, intimidation or insult and including also the probability or something else than the causing of such intimidation, insult or annoyance, being the dominant intention which prompted the entry, (AIR 1964 SC 986); Rash Behari Chatterj...
