When an act is abetted with the intention on the part of the abettor of
causing a particular effect, and an act for which the abettor is liable in
consequence of the abetment, causes a different effect from that intended by
the abettor, the abettor is liable for the effect caused, in the same manner
and to the same extent as if he had abetted the act with the intention of
causing that effect, provided he knew that the act abetted was likely to
cause that effect.
Illustration
A instigates B to cause grievous hurt to Z. B, in consequence of
the instigation, causes grievous hurt to Z. Z dies in
consequence. Here, if A knew that the grievous hurt abetted was
likely to cause death, A is liable to be punished with the
punishment provided for murder.
