Question

'A' and 'B' plan to murder 'C' the next day. They are guilty of -

A.

The offense of planning

B.

The offense of criminal conspiracy

C.

The offense of attempting the murder

D.

No offense

Correct option is B

'A' and 'B' are guilty of criminal conspiracy under Section 120B of the IPC. When two or more persons agree to commit an illegal act or a legal act by illegal means, they are guilty of criminal conspiracy, even if the act is not yet carried out.
Information Booster Criminal conspiracy is a separate and distinct offense under IPC. The mere agreement to commit a crime, even if the crime is not carried out, is sufficient to constitute conspiracy.
Additional Knowledge
· The offense of planning: No such offense exists under IPC.
· Attempting the murder ( Section 307 IPC)- Requires an overt act toward the commission of the crime.
· No offense: Incorrect because planning to commit a crime constitutes a conspiracy.
