Legal Provisions of Section 236 of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Abetting in India the counterfeiting out of India of coin:
ADVERTISEMENTS:
This section penalises abetment in India of counterfeiting coin out of India. It says that whoever, being within India, abets the counterfeiting of coin out of India shall be punished in the same manner as if the abetment on his part of the offence of counterfeiting of such coin had been done in India.
The section requires that the accused under this section must be in any place within the territory of India and he must abet, whether by instigation or by conspiracy or by intentional aiding, the offence of counterfeiting of coin outside the territory of India. The abetment must be in India whereas the act of counterfeiting coin is to take place outside India.
