● Retained in BNS
Section 34 IPC stated the principle of joint liability: when a criminal act is done by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all, each is liable as if the act were done by them alone.
BNS Section 3(5) restates the same principle in identical substance as part of the general explanations chapter.
Carried over unchanged; renumbered from IPC 34 to BNS 3(5).
