Legal Provisions of Section 35 of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
When such an act is criminal by reason of its being done with a criminal knowledge or intention:
There are many offences in the Indian Penal Code where an accused shall be liable only when he possesses a certain criminal knowledge or intention. If such an act is done by more than one persons each of such persons who joins in the act with such knowledge or intention shall be liable for the act in the same manner as if he alone had done that act with that knowledge or intention.
