As enacted

4. Attempts to commit offences

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

Any person who attempts to commit an offence under this Act or to cause such an offence to be committed, shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding one half of the maximum fine provided for each of such offences, or to imprisonment of either description for a term not exceeding one half of the maximum term provided for each of such offences, or to both such fine and imprisonment.
