84. Give best response. A and B have been married for some time. Due to acute financial difficulties they decide to commit suicide. A procures some poison which both of them take. But A, the husband survives whereas B, the wife dies as a result of taking the poison. In this case :

by
A. A is liable for abetment. A by deciding to commit suicide with his wife has abetted her by counselling to commit suicide.
B. A is liable for murder and not for abetment. Where the parties mutually agreed to commit suicide, and one only accomplished that object the survivor will be guilty of murder and not for abetment only.
C. A is neither liable for murder not for abetment but attempting to murder his wife.
D. A is liable for murder as well as for abetment of murder.
✅ The correct answer is option A.

83. Give correct response. A concerts with B a plan of poisoning Z. It is agreed that A shall administer the poison. B then explains the plan to C mentioning that a third person is to administer the poison, but without mentioning A’s name. C agrees to procure the poison, and procures and delivers it to B for the purpose of its being used in the manner explained. A administers the poison; Z dies in consequence. In this case C’s liability is as follows :

by
A. C will not be liable for abetment by conspiracy because C can only be held liable if he had concerted with A and B.
B. C would be liable for attempting to commit murder but not for committing murder because the poison was administered by A.
C. C is not liable for murder because he never conspired with A.

✅ The correct answer is option D.
