criminal conspiracy in Indian law is defined in the substantive law portion in the Indian penal

“section 120A defines criminal conspiracy as; When two or more persons agree to do, or
cause to be done, —1) an illegal act, or 2) an act which is not illegal by illegal means, such an
agreement is designated a criminal conspiracy: Provided that no agreement except an
agreement to commit an offence shall amount to a criminal conspiracy unless some act
besides the agreement is done by one or more parties to such agreement in pursuance thereof.

or is merely incidental to that object.”1.
