Which one of the following cases is not related to the principle of joint liability based upon common intention?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Reg v Govinda compares IPC 299 and 300 to distinguish culpable homicide from murder. Barendra Kumar Ghosh and Mahbub Shah concern section 34 shared intention. Jaikrishnadas Manohardas Desai also discusses common intention and participation, explaining why physical presence is not essential in every nonviolent composite offence.
Current law: BNS has applied from 1 July 2024; BNS 358 preserves earlier liabilities and proceedings under IPC. Common intention is now in 3(5); the corresponding homicide and murder definitions are 100/101.
