We heard you! Soon we are bringing you the biggest update yet with Updated & New acts, all Central and State acts, the Constitution of India, and a dedicated Mobile App! 🚀
When an act is abetted with the intention on the part of the abettor of causing a particular
effect, and an act for which the abettor is liable in consequence of the abetment, causes a different effect
from that intended by the abettor, the abettor is liable for the effect caused, in the same manner and to the
same extent as if he had abetted the act with the intention of causing that effect, provided he knew that the
act abetted was likely to cause that effect.
Illustration
A instigates B to cause grievous hurt to Z. B, in consequence of the instigation, causes grievous hurt to Z. Z dies in
consequence. Here, if A knew that the grievous hurt abetted was likely to cause death, A is liable to be punished with the
punishment provided for murder.
