Definition of criminal conspiracy
When two or more
persons agree to do, or cause to be done,-
(1) an illegal act, or
(2) an act which is
not illegal by illegal means, such an agreement is designated a criminal
conspiracy:
Provided that no agreement except an agreement to commit an offence
shall amount to a criminal conspiracy unless some act besides the agreement is
done by one or more parties to such agreement in pursuance thereof.
Explanation- It is immaterial whether the illegal act is the ultimate
object of such agreement, or is merely incidental to that object.]
