    Question

    X abets Y to cause simple hurt to Z. However, Y, with

    intention to cause grievous hurt, severely injures Z causing grievous hurt. Under Section 50, what punishment should X receive?
    A Punishment for grievous hurt as that is what actually occurred Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Punishment for simple hurt as per his original intention Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C No punishment as Y acted with different intention Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Punishment for both simple hurt and grievous hurt Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Punishment reduced by half due to different intentions Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 50 states: "Whoever abets the commission of an offence shall, if the person abetted does the act with a different intention or knowledge from that of the abettor, be punished with the punishment provided for the offence which would have been committed if the act had been done with the intention or knowledge of the abettor and with no other." X intended simple hurt, so he gets punishment for simple hurt only.
