Section 35
Prohibition Of Abetment
(1) No person shall abet another person to
commit an offence.
(2) For the purposes of sub-section (1), where a person
instigates another person to commit an offence, the person is
considered to have abetted.
(3) The abettor shall be liable to the separate punishment, if
any, provided for in this Act, and to the following punishment if such
separate punishment is not so provided for:
(a) Where the offence is committed in pursuance of the
abetment, the punishment imposable as if he or she had
committed the offence,

(b) Where the offence is yet to be committed in pursuance
of the abetment, one half of the punishment specified
for such offence.
(4) Where an offence is abetted but a different offence is
committed by the abetted person, and that offence was committed
under the influence of the instigation or was a probable consequence of
the abetment, the abettor shall be liable to punishment as if he or she
had committed such offence as well.
