In Barendera Kumar Ghose Vs. Emperor, 52 I.A. 40, the appellant was charged under section 302
fs
read with section 34 of the I.P.C. with the murder of a sub-postmaster. Sub-postmaster was counting
money in the backroom. Several persons appeared at the door of the office and demanded the post
Pd
master to give up the money and immediately afterwards fired pistols at him. Postmaster died
immediately and the assailants fled in different directions without taking money. On of them was
chased and caught with a pistol in his hand. It was not clear as to who fired the fatal shot. While
holding the appellant liable for murder the Privy Council laid down the following principles:
cq
(a) “Criminal act” means that unity of criminal behaviour which results in something for which an
individual would be liable if it were all done by himself alone, in a criminal offence.
(b) Even if the appellant did nothing as he stood outside the door, in crimes they also serve who
wM
only stand and wait.
(c) Section 34 deals with the doing of separate acts, similar or diverse, by several persons ; if all are
done in furtherance of a common intention, each person is liable for the result of them all, as if he
had done them himself, for ‘that act’ in the latter part of the section must include the whole action
covered by a “criminal act” in the first part because they refer to it.
La
(d) Care must be taken not to confuse same or similar intention with the common intention.
Ans. (d)

e/
The following principles were laid down in Mahboob Shah v. Emperor 72 I.A. 148.
(a) Under section 34 the essence of liability is to be found in the existence of a common intention
animating the accused leading to the doing of a criminal act in furtherance of such intention.
t .m
(b) It is difficult if not impossible, to procure direct evidence to prove the intention of an individual; in
most cases it has to be inferred from his act etc. Such an inference should never be reached unless
it is necessary inference deducible from the circumstances of the case.
(c) Common intention within in the meaning of section 34 implies a prearranged plan, and to convict
the accused of an offence applying this section, it should be proved that the criminal act was done in
:/ /
concert pursuant to the prearranged plan.

(d) Even though a person has not done anything but was only standing where the crime was
committed by his co-conspirators the rule is that ‘they also serve who only stand and wait.’

Dying Company, the company entered into a contract with the textile Commissioner undertaking to
dye a large quantity of cloth. Out of the lot some were returned back to the commissioner by the
ht
company while others, even after repeated demand, remained undelivered. Therefore, the
Managing Director was charged for an offence and he pleaded that the clothes were eaten up by
white ants and that he was not personally responsible for damage done to them and their non-
delivery.
(a) In order to punish a person by application of section 34 mental as well as physical participation
was necessary, therefore, in absence of actual physical participation the Managing Director was not
liable.
(b) Since the act was not done in furtherance of a common intention, therefore, Managing Director
fs
cannot be punished for any offence, in the absence of evidence that the offence was committed with
his consent or knowledge.
(c) The Managing Director would be vicariously liable for the offence of criminal misappropriation
Pd
under section 409 IPC because he was responsible for supervision and control of the servants of the
company who might have caused the loss negligently.
(d) The Managing Director would be liable under section 409 read with section 34 I.P.C. because
cq
physical presence is not necessary in offences involving diverse acts which may be done at different
time and places.

A was charged with the murder of his wife, takes the defence of insanity and in the alternative of
being drunk at the time of commission of the crime and being thus incapable of forming the intent
required in murder. It is also pleaded in defence that the accused was a psychopath. The evidence
further discloses that the accused had indicated an intention to kill his wife before taking alcohol.
Here :
fs
(a) A is liable for murder, because the rule is that if the accused had been too drunk to form an
intention to kill or do grievous bodily harm, he would, nevertheless have been guilty of manslaughter,
either because he intended to commit a battery upon his wife or else because he would have been
Pd
guilty of gross negligence.
(b) A is liable for murder because he had indicated his intention to kill his wife before taking alcohol.
(c) Since a was so deeply intoxicated that he was incapable of forming the criminal intent required in
cq
murder, therefore, A was not liable.
(d) A is not liable for murder because the rule is that when due to alcoholic excess actual insanity
supervenes, although temporarily, at the time of commission of the act, the prisoner is not to be held
guilty for the act.

defence.

knowledge as if he was quite sober, but so far as the intent is concerned we must gather it from the
attending circumstances of the case with due regard to the degree of the intoxication.

(d) A would not be liable because his mental faculties were so much affected by intoxicating drink
