    Solution

    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. A criminal conspiracy not only consists of the agreement or meeting of intention or minds between two or more than two persons but an actual commission of an unlawful act by unlawful means.
