Correct option is D
In this situation, "A" has committed no offence under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). According to Section 212 of the IPC, a wife cannot be held guilty for harboring her husband. The law provides immunity to spouses from being prosecuted for assisting each other in avoiding arrest for crimes.
Information Booster:
This legal provision acknowledges the special relationship between spouses, recognizing that it would be unreasonable to expect one to turn in the other for a crime. However, this immunity does not extend to other family members or associates.
Additional Knowledge:
· Murder by reason of having common intention: Would apply if 'A' had participated in the crime.
· Harbouring: Generally applies to anyone who shelters a criminal, except in specific relationships like that of a wife sheltering her husband.
· Abetment by aid: Requires active assistance in the commission of a crime, which is different from mere harboring after the fact.
