Section 34 IPC-Punishment for Offenses Relating to Counterfeiting of Currency and Government Stamps"
Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) addresses the principle of joint liability, which holds that when two or more individuals commit a criminal act with a common intention, each person is liable for the entire offense, not just their individual actions. This section underlines that the essence of the crime is the collective intention and actions of the individuals involved. It is crucial for advocates to understand that proving the common intention is key to invoking Section 34, as it requires demonstrating that the accused acted with a shared purpose and were engaged in the criminal act together. This section is instrumental in ensuring that all participants in a criminal conspiracy or act are held accountable, reflecting the collaborative nature of their wrongdoing.
