Correct option is A
Under Section 45 of BNS, abetment occurs when a person instigates, conspires, or aids another in committing a crime. A instigated B to murder D, and despite D surviving the attempt, A remains liable for the abetment of murder.
Information Booster:
· A’s liability is based on his intent to instigate B to murder D. The fact that D survived does not change A's liability for abetment of murder, as the intent and act of abetment remain.
Additional Information:
· Option (b): This is incorrect because A instigated B to commit murder, not merely attempt it.
· Option (c): The abetment was for murder, not just for causing a wound.
· Option (d): A is not absolved from liability, as his instigation was for a serious crime, i.e., murder.
