    A Punishment only for criminal breach of trust of Rs. 1,00,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Punishment for criminal breach of trust of Rs. 50,000 and cheating of Rs. 25,000 separately Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Punishment for criminal breach of trust of Rs. 50,000 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Combined punishment for total amount of Rs. 75,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No liability as the amount differs from what was abetted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under Section 49, T is liable for the criminal breach of trust that was committed (Rs. 50,000). Under Section 51, if cheating was a probable consequence and committed under influence of abetment, T is liable for it too. Under Section 52, since both are distinct offences committed in addition to each other, T faces punishment for each offence separately.
