IPC 120A: Section 120A of the Indian Penal Code
Definition of criminal conspiracy
When two or more persons agree to do, or cause to be done:
- an illegal act, or
- an act which is not illegal by illegal means, such an agreement is designated a criminal conspiracy;
Provided that no agreement except an agreement to commit an offence shall amount to a criminal conspiracy unless some act besides the agreement is done by one or more parties to such agreement in pursuance thereof.
Explanations
- It is immaterial whether the illegal act is the ultimate object of such agreement, or is merely incidental to that object.
