Section 33: Prohibition of criminal conspiracy

1) No person shall make a criminal conspiracy.

2) Where two or more persons agree to commit, or cause the commission of, an offence, and any act is done by only one or two of them, they shall be considered to have committed a criminal conspiracy.

3) A person who commits, or causes the commission of, a criminal conspiracy to commit an offence of heinous or grave nature shall, where no provision is made elsewhere in this Act for a separate punishment for such conspiracy, be punished as follows:

(a) Where the offence in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy is committed, punishment imposable if the offence had been committed,

(b) Where another offence instead of the offence in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy is committed, and such other offence is committed in the course of implementation of such conspiracy or as a probable consequence thereof, punishment specified for that offence,

(c) Where any offence in addition to the offence in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy is also committed, and such offence is also committed in the course of implementation of such conspiracy or as a probable consequence thereof, additional punishment also for such offence,

(d) Where the offence of criminal conspiracy is yet to be completed, one-half of the punishment specified for that offence.
