    Section 48 states: "A person abets an offence within the meaning of this Sanhita who, without and beyond India, abets the commission of any act in India which would constitute an offence if committed in India." Here, P is outside India (London) abetting an act to be committed in India (Delhi), making Section 48 applicable.
