Definition :

Common object, common intention, 'common object' is different from a 'common intention' as it does not require a prior concert and a common meeting of minds before the attack. It is enough if each has the same object in view and their number is five or more and that they act as an assembly to achieve that object, Chanda v. State of Uttar Pradesh, (2004) 5 SCC 141 (147).
