Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention -

If two or more people carry out a criminal act with a common intention, each person is treated as if they alone committed the act. The rule applies only when the act is done in furtherance of that shared intention, not when acts are independent. Consequence: every participant is equally liable and can be tried and punished as a principal offender.

Rohan and Karan plan to break into a neighbourhood shop; they together smash the lock and enter. Because the burglary was done in furtherance of their common intention, both Rohan and Karan are each liable and can be prosecuted as if each had committed the burglary alone.
