Which of the following sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 has incorporated the English law known as principal in the second degree?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 54 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 114 IPC) treats an abettor who is present when the abetted act or offence is committed as having committed it. That is the corresponding statutory rule for the English principal in the second degree. Section 49 instead supplies the general punishment when the abetted act occurs and no express provision governs its punishment; sections 50 and 52 address different consequences of abetment.
