Comments
Common intention

(i) Before a person can be convicted with the aid of section 34 IPC, the ingredients that are required to be satisfied are that he along with others committed a criminal act and act was done in furtherance of common intention; Chandra Kant v. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 1999 SC 1557.

(ii) The offence under section 120B is an agreement between the parties to do a particular act. Association or relation to lead a conspiracy is not enough to establish the intention to kill the deceased; Sanjiv Kumar v. State of Himachal Pradesh, AIR 1999 SC 782: 1999 (1) JT 716.

(iii) To bring home the charge of conspiracy within the ambit of section 120B it is necessary to establish that there was an agreement between the parties for doing an unlawful Act. It is difficult to establish conspiracy by direct evidence; Vijayan v. State of Kerala, 1999 (3) SCC 54: AIR 1999 SC 1086.

IPC –
Section 420. Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property

Comments

Ingredients

(i) Even if the allegation made in the complaint are accepted to be true and correct, the appellants cannot be said to have committed any offence of cheating. Since the appellants were not in picture at all the time when the complainant alleges to have spent money in improving the bottling plant, neither any guilty intention can be attributed to them nor there can possibly be any intention on their part to deceive complainant; Ajay Mitra v. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 2003 SC 1069.

(ii) The offence of cheating is established when the accused thereby induced that person to deliver any property or to do or to omit to do something which he would otherwise not have done or omitted; Mahadeo Prasad v. State of Bengal, AIR 1954 SC 724.

Politicians are the biggest crooks in this country. They are looting the country left,right and centre and get away with it. No court punishes them. Cases registered against them will never be adjudicated. It will drag on for years and years and I am yet to see any politician being punished for their serious offenses including bribery, corruption, murder,rape. They always escape due to their money power, clout and destroying evidence. Cases against Modi and Jayalalitha are going on for years and once again Jayalalitha has become chief minister and now it is even said that Modi will become the prime minister of this country.

It is very sad that India is going in the wrong direction and the rich,powerful guilty people have one set of law and the poor man on the streets has another law.

Very interesting and informative post but I think the minister concerned and his daughter will escape punishment.

Best wishes,
Joseph
