Which one of the following statements is not correct? Criminal conspiracy requires
Verified Answer
A. an agreement between two or more persons
B. doing of an illegal act
C. doing of a legal act with illegal means
D. doing an act which may be an offence or not
Explanation:
Section 120A of the IPC defines criminal conspiracy as an agreement between two or more persons to do, or cause to be done, (1) an illegal act, or (2) an act which is not illegal by illegal means. Therefore, the agreement must be to do an illegal act or a legal act by illegal means. Statement (D) is incorrect because the act agreed upon must be illegal or done by illegal means, not merely 'may be an offence or not'.
