1999 (8) TMI 953 - SC - Indian LawsWhether Appellants are liable to be prosecuted along with public servants for the offence under Section 109 of the Penal Code read with Section 13(1)(e) of the P.C. Act? Held that:- There is no force in the contention that the offences under Section 13(1)(e) cannot be abetted by another person. Referring to illustrations given in case they are apt examples of how the offence under Section 13(1)(e) of the P.C. Act can be abetted by non-public servants. The only mode of prosecuting such offender is through the trial envisaged in the P.C. Act. For the aforesaid reasons we are unable to appreciate the contentions of the appellants that they are not liable to be proceeded against under the P.C. Act. Accordingly we dismiss these appeals.
