ISSUE:
Whether a lady can be prosecuted for gang rape?
RULE:
The sine qua non for bringing in the application of Section 34 IPC is that the act must be done in furtherance of the common intention to do a criminal act. The expression "in furtherance of their common intention" as appearing in the explanation to Section 376(2) relates to intention to commit rape and a woman cannot be said to have an intention to commit rape.
