Section 112 of IPC : Section 112: Abettor When Liable To Cumulative Punishment For Act Abetted And For Act Done

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a person named Raj encourages his friend, Vikram, to evade paying taxes, which is a crime. Vikram not only evades taxes but also submits forged documents to the tax authorities, committing another separate offence of forgery. According to Section 112 of The Indian Penal Code, Raj, as the abettor, would be liable for both encouraging tax evasion and the additional crime of forgery committed by Vikram, even though Raj did not directly participate in the forgery himself.
