133. Abetment of the commission of an offence

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Whoever abets —

(a)

the commission of an offence under this Act; or

(b)

the commission outside Sri Lanka of any act, in relation to the affairs or business or on behalf of a principal residing in Sri Lanka, which if committed in Sri Lanka would be an offence under this Act, commits an offence and shall be tried in the same manner and shall upon conviction be liable to the same punishment as is specified by this Act for the first mentioned offence.

In this section the expression “abet” shall have the same meaning as in sections 100 and 101 of the Penal Code

(Chapter 19).
