Illustration

A instigates B to entice an unmarried female to leave the custody of her parents or guardian. B entices the unmarried female to leave the custody of her parents or guardian and during such enticing serves her intoxicating drink. B is guilty of two offences and is liable on conviction to the punishments of both offences; and if A knew that B will likely serve that woman intoxicating drink, he is also liable for the punishment of each of the offences.
