BNS - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023

Section 52 in THE BHARATIYA NYAYA SANHITA, 2023 – BNS

Abettor when
liable to
cumulative
punishment
for act abetted
and for act
done

  1. If the act for which the abettor is liable under section 51 is committed in addition to
    the act abetted, and constitute 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.
