Frequently Asked Questions


What is Section 34 of the IPC?

In section 34 of the IPC, it is stated that when multiple persons commit illegal acts to achieve a common goal, they are each held responsible for the crime just as if the act was committed by them alone. This provision that creates "joint responsibility" for an act is contrary to the basic principles of criminal law.
