Question

"A" in India instigates "B" a foreigner in Pakistan to commit a murder in Pakistan. "B" commits murder. In this case –

A.

'A' is guilty of abetting murder

B.

'A' is not guilty of any offence

C.

'A' is liable for committing murder

D.

None of the above answer is correct

Correct option is A

'A' is guilty of abetting murder. According to the Indian Penal Code, a person can be held liable for abetment if they instigate someone to commit a crime, regardless of where the crime is committed. Section 108A of the IPC makes it clear that if a person in India abets a crime that is committed outside India, they can still be prosecuted in India for abetment.
Information Booster:
The concept of abetment in the IPC is broad and includes instigation, conspiracy, or aiding in the commission of a crime. The jurisdictional reach of Indian law can extend to actions committed outside India, provided the instigation or conspiracy originates within India.
Additional Knowledge:
· Not guilty of any offence: Incorrect because the instigation took place within Indian territory.
· Liable for committing murder: Incorrect as 'A' did not commit the murder but abetted it.
· None of the above: Incorrect because the correct answer is (a).
