Prosecution to prove commone intention:SC

The Supreme Court in Aizaz & Others., Versus State of U.P., held that, `Common intention' implies pre-arranged plan and acting in concert pursuant to the pre-arranged plan. A pre-concert in the sense of a distinct previous plan is not necessary to be proved. The common intention to bring about a particular result may well develop on the spot as between a number of persons, with reference to the facts of the case and circumstances of the situation. Though common intention may develop on the spot, it must, however, be
anterior in point of time to the commission of offence showing a pre-arranged plan and prior concert. Undoubtedly, it is a difficult thing to prove even the intention of an individual and, therefore, it is all the more difficult to show the common intention of a group of persons. But however difficult may be the task, the prosecution must lead evidence of facts, circumstances and conduct of the accused from which their common intention
can be safely gathered.
