Explain Section 116 regarding abetment of an offence punishable with imprisonment if the offence is not committed.
Section 116 pertains to abetting an offence punishable with imprisonment. If that offence is not committed in consequence of the abetment, and no express provision is made by this Code for the punishment of such abetment, the abettor shall be punished with imprisonment of any description provided for that offence for a term that may extend to one-fourth part of the longest term provided for that offence, or with such fine as is provided for that offence, or with both. If the abettor or the person abetted is a public servant whose duty is to prevent the offence, the punishment is more severe, extending to one-half of the longest term provided for that offence.

Illustrations are provided for clarity. [Chapter 5, Section 116]
