Which one of the following will amount to criminal conspiracy ?
Answer: D
Criminal conspiracy is an agreement to commit an offence even if no overt act is done to carry out the agreement.
Section 120A IPC defines criminal conspiracy as an agreement between two or more persons to do an illegal act, or a legal act by illegal means. The proviso says that an agreement to commit an offence is itself a conspiracy, and no act besides the agreement need be done in pursuance of it. The agreement is the gist of the offence.
The other options describe common intention under section 34, which requires a criminal act done by several persons with a shared, pre-arranged intention, and joint liability for that act, not the bare agreement that makes a conspiracy.
