NADEEM QAYYUM VS State S. 34---Common intention---Scope---Section 34, P.P.C. did not create a distinct offence but lays down the principle of joint criminal liability---Necessary conditions for the application of Section 34, P.P.C., were common intention to commit an offence and participation by all the accused in doing an act or acts in furtherance of the common intention---If the said two ingredients were established, all the accused would be liable for the offence---If two or more persons had common intention to commit murder and they had participated in the acts done by them in furtherance of that common intention, all of them would be guilty of murder---Moreover, common intention presupposes prior concert---Common intention requires a pre-arranged plan because before a person can be vicariously convicted for the criminal act of another, the act must have been done in furtherance of the common intention of all of them---Plan needed not be elaborated nor was a long interval of time is required, it could arise and be formed suddenly, however, there must have been a prior meeting of minds.
