Civic nature
Civic nature, Mr. Patchotte -- Joyce, submits that such a construction is impossibly wide because any orgainsation which does not have positively anti-social aims could claim to have objects of a civic nature. I do not consider that is correct because the requirement that a body has objects which are of a civic nature if it is to be able to claim exemption means that the body must have objects which promote the relationship of citizens, not among themselves, but with the state of which they are citizens, Expert Witness Institute v.

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.
