Common object
Common object, '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. The 'common object' of an assembly is to be ascertained from the acts and language of the members composing it, and from a consideration of all the surrounding circumstances. It may be gathered from the course of conduct adopted by the members of the assembly, State of Maharashtra v. Kashirao, AIR 2003 SC 3901 (3905): (2003) 10 SCC 434. (Penal Code, 1860, s. 141)Common object, the word object means the purpose or design and in order to make it common it must be shared by all, Charan Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh, (2004) SCC 205....

Object
Object, the word object would mean the purpose and design which is the object of the contract, if it is opposed to public policy which tends to defeat any provision of law or purpose of law, it becomes unlawful and thereby it is void under s. 23 of the Contract Act. S. 23 is concerned with only the object or consideration of the transaction and not the reasons or motive which prompted it, Gurmukh Singh v. Amar Singh, (1991) 3 SCC 79 (82). (Indian Contract Act, 1872, s. 23)...
Object held sacred
Object held sacred, the word 'object' has to be interpreted 'ejusdem generis' with a place of worship. Interpreted like that,it would mean that the section would apply only to cases where an idol in a temple is sought to be destroyed, damaged, or defiled. The words 'any object held sacred by any class of persons' even otherwise will apply only to idols in a temple or when they are carried out in processions on festival occasions, A. Veerabhadran Chettiar v. E.V. Ramaswami Naicker, AIR 1955 Mad 550. (Indian Penal Code, s. 295)Any object however trivial or destitute of real value in itself, if regarded as sacred by any class of persons would come within the meaning of the Penal Section, Veerabadran Chettiari v. E. V. Ramaswami Naicker, AIR 1958 SC 1032 (1035): 1959 SCR 1211. (Indian Penal Code, s. 295)...
