Explanation

Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1862 establishes joint liability when a criminal act is done by several persons with common intention. The requirement for fixing joint liability specifically depends on common intention - a prior meeting of minds to commit a particular crime. Common object alone is insufficient for joint liability under this section.
