Which one of the following is not the ingredients of the Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code ?

Criminal act done by several person
In the furtherance of common intention
Meeting of the minds of those who involved in crime
Similar intention of those who involved in the crime

The correct answer is (d).

Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code states that when a criminal act is done by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all, each of such persons is liable for that act in the same manner as if it were done by him alone.

The ingredients of Section 34 are:

  • A criminal act done by several persons.
  • In the furtherance of common intention.
  • Meeting of the minds of those who involved in crime.

The meeting of the minds of those who involved in crime is essential for the application of Section 34. This means that all the persons involved in the crime must have the same intention to commit the crime. If any of the persons involved in the crime does not have the same intention, then Section 34 will not apply.

In the case of (d), the intention of the persons involved in the crime is not similar. This is because one of the persons involved in the crime does not have the intention to commit the crime. Therefore, Section 34 will not apply in this case.

The other options are all ingredients of Section 34. Therefore, they are all correct.
