(b) (“A”) and (“B”) conspire to poison (“Z”). (“A”) in pursuance of the conspiracy procures the poison and delivers it to (“B”) in order that he may administer it to (“Z”). (“B”) in pursuance of the conspiracy administers the poison to (“Z”) in (“A’s”) absence and thereby causes (“Z’s”) death. Here (“B”) is guilty of murder. (“A”) is guilty of abetting that offence by conspiracy and is liable to the punishment for murder. Section 85 - “Abetment if Person Abetted does the Act with Different Intention from that of Abettor”: Whoever abets the commission of an offence shall, if the person abetted does the act with a different intention or knowledge from that of the abettor, be punished with the punishment provided for the offence which would have been committed if the act had been done with the intention or knowledge of the abettor and with no other. Section 86 - “Liability of Abettor when one act Abetted and Different act done”: When an act is abetted and a different act is done, the abettor is liable for the act done in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had directly abetted it; provided that the act done was a probable consequence of the abetment and was committed under the influence of the instigation or in pursuance of the conspiracy or with the aid which constituted the abetment. Illustrations:(a) (“A”) instigates a child to put poison into the food of (“Z”) and gives him poison for that purpose. The child, in consequence of the instigation, by mistake puts the poison into the food of (“Y”), which is by the side of that of (“Z”). Here, if the child was acting under the influence of (“A’s”) instigation and the act done was in the circumstances a probable consequence of the abetment, (“A”) is liable in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had instigated the child to put the poison into the food of (“Y”). (b) (“A”) instigates (“B”) and (“C”) to break into an inhabited house at midnight for the purpose of robbery and provided them with arms for that purpose, (“B”) and (“C”) break into the house and being resisted by (“Z”) one of the inmates, murder (“Z”). Here, if that murder was the probable consequence of the abetment, (“A”) is liable to the punishment provided for murder. Section 87 - “Abettor when Liable to Cumulative Punishment for Act Abetted and for act Done”: If the act for which the abettor is liable under section 86 is committed in addition to the act abetted and constitutes a distinct offence, the abettor is liable to punishment for each of the offences. 22
