Section 34 IPC | Driving Accused to Crime Scene & Fleeing Post-Offence Establishes Common Intention : HP HC Denies Bail in Murder Case

This precedent strengthens prosecution arguments for vicarious liability in cases involving logistical support, impacting bail considerations for co-accused in violent crimes.
