WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ABSORPTION?

> In  cases of rebellion, other crimes  committed in  the course  of crime  are  deemed  absorbed  in  the  crime  of  rebellion  either  as  a means necessary for its commission or as an unintended effect of
rebellion

> They cannot be charged as separate offenses in themselves

> Exception: when the  common  crimes are committed  without any political motivation. In such case, they will not be absorbed by rebellion.
