Intention and knowledge
Intention and knowledge, 'intention' is different from 'motive' or 'ignorance' or 'negligence'. It is the 'knowledge' or 'intention' with which the act is done that makes difference. The knowledge of the consequences which may result in doing an act is not the same thing as the intention that such con-sequences should ensue. Firstly, when an act is done by a person, it is presumed that he must have been aware that certain specified harmful con-sequences would or could follow.

Common Intention, common object
Common Intention, common object, under s. 34 when a criminal act is done by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all, each of such persons is liable for that act in the same manner as if it were done by him alone. The words 'in furtherance of the common intention of all' are a most essential part of s. 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is common intention to commit the crime actually committed. This common intention is anterior in time to the commission of the crime. Common intention means a pre-arranged plan.
