Question

B, C, and D together decide to persuade E to steal cash from the bank. They accordingly do so, and as a result of which, E agrees to steal the cash from the bank. E sets out for the bank in order to steal the cash.

A.

Only B, C, and D are liable for conspiracy to commit theft.

B.

B, C, D, and E are liable for conspiracy to commit theft.

C.

B, C, and D are liable for criminal conspiracy, and E is not liable as his acts amount to no more than preparation.

D.

None of these.

Correct option is B

Under Section 61 of BNS (corresponding to Criminal Conspiracy under IPC 120A & 120B), criminal conspiracy is established once an agreement is made to commit an unlawful act.

  • Here, B, C, and D persuaded E to commit theft.
  • E agreed and even set out for the bank, which is an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
  • As per established legal principles, all conspirators are liable, even if the crime itself is not completed.
    Thus, B, C, D, and E are all liable for criminal conspiracy to commit theft.
