Whoever intending to facilitate or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby facilitate the commission of an offence punishable with death or ⁵¹[imprisonment for life]; voluntarily conceals, by any act or illegal omission, the existence of a design to commit such offence or makes any representation which he knows to be false respecting such design,

If offence be committed-if offence be not committed-  shall, if that offence be committed, be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, or, if the offence be not committed, with imprisonment of either description, for a term which may extend to three years; and in either case shall also be liable to fine.
