Under section 61(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which agreement between two or more persons can amount to a criminal conspiracy without any further act in pursuance of it?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

An agreement to commit an offence can itself constitute conspiracy under section 61(1). Other agreements within the definition require a further act in pursuance of the agreement by one or more parties.

Option feedback

Option A

An illegal object outside the category of offences still requires an act in pursuance of the agreement.

Option B

Illegal means can bring the agreement within section 61(1)(b), but the proviso still requires a further act unless the agreement is to commit an offence.

Option C

The proviso makes an exception to the further-act requirement for an agreement to commit an offence.

Option D

There is neither an illegal act nor an illegal means in this agreement.
