The bare perusal of definition of abetment shows that it, inter alia, includes illegal omission. Section 44 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 makes it incumbent on every person aware of commission of, or of the intention of any other person to commit, any offence punishable under, inter alia, Section 302 PPC, information to the nearest Magistrate or Police Officer of such commission or intention unless there is reasonable excuse for failure. The failure on part of the petitioners in the facts and circumstances of the case may constitute illegal omission as envisaged under Section 107 ibid.
