Indian Penal Code, 1860
112. Abettor
when liable to cumulative punishment for act abetted and for act done
If the act for which
the abettor is liable under the last preceding section is committed in addition
to the act abetted, and constitutes a distinct offence, the abettor is liable
to punishment for each of the offences.
Illustration
A instigates B to
resist by force a distress made by a public servant. B, in consequence, resists
that distress. in offering the resistance, B voluntarily causes grievous hurt
to the officer executing the distress. As B has committed both the offence of
resisting the distress, and the offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt, B
is liable to punishment for both these offences; and, if A knew that B was
likely voluntarily to cause grievous hurt in resisting the distress A will also
be liable to punishment for each of the offences.
