A Google search indicates that the phrase is one used in India and the Far East. No US or UK hits (apart from media reports) Feebs11

Neither is Singapore English. I think I would accept AmE, BrE or Australian English. Yoong Liat

	Feebs11  +  373765 Fri, 01 Jun 07 10:21 PM What exactly are you looking for? Your student asked about the difference between homicide and murder, and that has been clearly answered. As to the phrase you are questioning, legal terms for criminal acts vary from one country to another. In India, this phrase seems to be a correct legal term for a crime. It may also be one that is used in Singapore. It is not necessarily a question of  inaccurate local English. Feebs11 Difference Between

Is the word one a typo, or was it intended to be used here? Thank you.
