Please explain difference between 34 IPC 149 IPC AND 120B IPC with example?
Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code provides for the liability of a criminal act done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention. Section 149 deals with the liability of members of an unlawful assembly for an offence committed in prosecution of the common object. Section 120B deals with criminal conspiracy, where two or more persons agree to commit an illegal act. For example, if five people plan and execute a robbery together, they may be charged under Section 34 IPC. If a group of people gather to attack someone and one of them kills the victim, all may be charged under Section 149 IPC. And if two persons conspire to commit a robbery, they may be charged under Section 120B IPC.

Initially, under Dowry Act husband and his relatives are immediately arrested and jailed thereafter in the court of law Dowry Act is converted unofficially and unfaithfully into Marriage Act to further harrass them stringently for several years.
