🧩 Section 44 – Abetment of a Thing

"A person abets the doing of a thing, who—

(a) instigates any person to do that thing; or

(b) engages with one or more other persons in any conspiracy for the doing of that thing, if an act or illegal omission takes place in pursuance of that conspiracy, and in order to the doing of that thing; or

This provision defines the concept of abetment — when a person is said to abet the commission of an offense or any illegal act.

🔎 Key Interpretations

Instigation can be direct or indirect (e.g., through words, gestures, or writing).

Conspiracy alone is not sufficient unless some act or omission is done to further the object of the conspiracy.

Aiding includes both positive acts and deliberate omissions (e.g., not alerting police when duty-bound to do so).
