Q1. By a person capable by law of committing an offence, an act is done which would not be an offence if done by 'A' having the same intention, but 'A' does not know it. (a) 'A' instigates 'B' to fire at 'Z'. 'B' does not know it to be a dwelling house and does not know that 'Z' is likely to be there. 'A' knows both these things, and instigates 'B' to fire in the dark at the place where he knows 'Z' to be, believing 'B' to be ignorant of the fact that it is likely to cause 'Z'’s death, and that 'B' has no such intention or knowledge. Here, though 'B' actually causes 'Z'’s death, 'B' is guilty only of causing death by rashness or negligence, but 'A' is guilty of abetment of murder.

Q1. निम्नलिखित अंग्रेजी अंश का हिन्दी में अनुवाद कीजिए। “The mystery of Napoleon’s career was this, that under all difficulties and discouragements, he pressed on. It solves the problem of all heroes; it is the rule by which to weigh rightly all successes and triumphant marches to fortune and genius. It shall be the motto of all, old and young, high and low, fortunate and unfortunate, so called. Never despair, never be discouraged, however stormy the heavens, however dark the way; however great the difficulties and repeated the failures. 'Press on!' If your riches have taken wings and left you, do not weep your life away, but up and doing, retrieve the loss by new energy and action. If an unfortunate bargain has deranged your business, don’t fold your arms, and give up all as lost; stir yourself and work all the more vigorously. If those whom you have trusted have betrayed you, do not be discouraged, do not idly weep, but 'press on!' Find other or what is better, learn to live within yourself. Let the foolishness of yesterday make you wise today.”
