Section 19: Evidence of accomplice, etc.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any law (including any rule of law), no witness shall, in any trial under this Act, be presumed to be unworthy of credit by reason only that he took part in the commission of the offence.
(2) Where a person is charged with an offence but the evidence establishes an attempt to commit the offence he may be convicted of having attempted to commit that offence, although the attempt is not separately charged, and punished as provided under this Act.
(3) Where a person is charged with an offence under this Act, but the evidence establishes the commission of another offence under this Act, the offender shall not be entitled to acquittal but he may be convicted of that other offence and punished as provided under this Act.
(4) Where a person aids, abets, counsels, procures or conspires with any other person to commit any of the offences under this Act, he is guilty of the offence and liable on conviction to the same punishment as prescribed for that offence under this Act.
