Full Judgment

Kernan and Hutchins, JJ.

1. It remains to consider the case of the appellant Badi Sahib, We allow Mr. Wedderburn's contention that murder and abetment of murder are not the same specific offence so as to warrant the confessions of Mahomed Sahib, Abdul Kadar, and Yeravadan, who are charged with murder, being taken into consideration under Section 30 of the Evidence Act against Badi Sahib, who is charged with abetment only. We have, therefore, considered his case quite apart from those confessions.

(Upon the evidence of the approver, corroborated by other evidence in the case, the appeal was dismissed and the sentence confirmed.)
