TITLE iv
ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT OFFENCES

83. Provisions relating to attempt to commit offences.

(1) A person who attempts to commit an offence by any means shall not be acquitted on the ground that, by reason of the imperfection or other condition of the means, or by reason of the circumstances under which they are used, or by reason of any circumstances affecting the person against whom, or the thing in respect of which, the offence is intended to be committed, or by reason of the absence of such person or thing, the offence could not be committed according to his intent.

(2) Whoever attempts to commit an offence shall, if the attempt is frustrated by reason only of accident or of circumstances or events independent of his will, be deemed guilty of an attempt in the first degree, and shall, except as in this Code otherwise expressly provided, be punishable in the same manner as if the offence had been completed.

(3) Whoever is guilty of an attempt other than an attempt in the first degree, shall, except as in this Code otherwise expressly provided, be liable to any kind of punishment to which he would have been liable if the offence had been completed; but the court shall mitigate the punishment according to the circumstances of the case.

(4) Where any act amounts to a complete offence, as defined by any provisions of this Code, and is also an attempt to commit some other crime, a person who is guilty of it shall be liable to be convicted and punished either under such provision or under this section.

(5) Any provision of this Code with respect to intent, exemption, justification or extenuation, or any other matter in the case of any act, shall apply with the necessary modifications, to the case of an attempt to do that act.

(6) The question whether an act done or omitted with intent to commit an offence is or is not only preparation for the commission of that offence, and too remote to constitute an attempt to commit, is a question of law .
