'A' intentionally causes 'Z's death partly by illegally omitting to give 'Z' food and partly by beating 'Z', 'A' is liable for murder by virtue of which one of the following sections of the Indian Penal Code?
Verified Answer
A. Section 36
B. Section 37
C. Section 34
D. Section 35
Explanation:
Section 37 of the IPC deals with cooperation by doing one of several acts constituting an offence. If an offence is committed by means of several acts, whoever intentionally cooperates in the commission of that offence by doing any one of those acts, either singly or jointly with any other person, commits that offence. Here, 'A' causes death by two acts (omission and beating), both contributing to the same result.
