ISSUE:
Whether Sections 302 and 307 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 can be converted into one under Sections 302 and 307 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860?
RULE:
The acts carried out by multiple people for a shared goal are defined in Section 34(2) of the Indian Penal Code. According to this, any member of a group who engages in illegal conduct with the same motives and goals is held equally responsible for the crime as if it were committed by one person alone.
