ABSTRACT
This paper explores the meaning of criminal
conspiracy, historical development of law of
conspiracy, cases related to it, definition, and
punishment of criminal conspiracy, scope
and limitation of conspiracy, objective and
conclusion. An agreement between two or
more than two people to commit an illegal
act, or an act that is not illegal but is done by
illegal  means, constitutes  a  criminal
conspiracy. There must be an agreement
between two people in order to have an
adequate plan of action to create, participate
in the agreement, contribute funds if

commission of a criminal offense. Before
1913 Criminal conspiracy was considered as
a civil wrong but in 1913, new chapter V- A

conspiracy. This paper deals with many case
laws like, Mulcahy v. R1, R Venkatakrishna,
State of Tamil Nadu v. Nalini, Rajiv Gandhi

inchoate  or  preparatory,  crime. The
