Licensed vendor punishable under Section 77 can be tried with his agent. - A li- censed vendor, who is punishable by implication under Section 77 of the Punjab Excise Act, may be tried together with his agent who commits the offence, for the case is one of abetment by implication. Section 239 Cr.P.C. clearly allows an abettor to be tried in the same trials as the principal.
