'A' has committed the offence of attempting to induce 'B' to give false evidence. Even though 'B' does not ultimately give false evidence, 'A's act of instigation itself constitutes an attempt, which is punishable under the law. The punishment for such an attempt is typically imprisonment of any description for a term that may extend to one-fourth part of the longest term provided for that offence, along with a fine.
