INDIAN PENAL CODE
112: Abettor When Liable To Cumulative Punishment For Act Abetted
And For Act Done::--If the act for which
he 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.
