    Question

    Which of the following is not necessary to constitute abetment by conspiracy?

    A.

    A conspiracy between two or more persons.

    B.

    An act or illegal omission must take place in pursuance of that conspiracy.

    C.

    Such an act or illegal omission must also take place in order to do the thing conspired.

    D.

    The abettor should concert the offence with the person who commits it.

    Correct option is D


    The requirement that "The abettor should concert the offence with the person who commits it" is not necessary to constitute abetment by conspiracy under the IPC. Abetment by conspiracy involves an agreement between two or more persons to commit an illegal act, followed by some act or illegal omission in pursuance of that conspiracy. However, it is not necessary for the abettor to personally commit the offence or to physically participate in the execution of the conspiracy. The key elements are the agreement and the act or omission done in furtherance of the conspiracy.
    Information Booster: Abetment by conspiracy under the IPC requires an agreement between two or more individuals to commit a crime, and at least one overt act or illegal omission must be carried out in furtherance of the conspiracy. The abettor's liability arises from their role in the conspiracy, even if they do not actively participate in the commission of the crime. The offence is complete when the conspiracy is followed by an act or omission that moves the plan forward, regardless of whether the abettor personally engages in the act.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Conspiracy Between Two or More Persons (a): This is essential for abetment by conspiracy; at least two people must agree to commit the crime.
    · Act or Illegal Omission (b): There must be an act or omission that follows from the conspiracy, making it an actionable offence.
    · Purpose of the Act or Omission (c): The act or omission must be intended to further the criminal objective of the conspiracy.
