Section 109 of IPC : Section 109: Punishment Of Abetment If The Act Abetted Is Committed In Consequence And When No Express Provision Is Made For Its Punishment

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a person, named John, encourages his friend, Mike, to rob a store. John plans the robbery and provides Mike with the necessary information and tools to break into the store. Mike follows through with the plan and commits the robbery. In this scenario, while Mike would be prosecuted for the robbery itself, John would be charged with abetting the robbery under Section 109 of The Indian Penal Code, 1860. Since the robbery was committed as a result of John's instigation and with the aid he provided, he would face the same legal consequences as if he had committed the robbery himself.
