148. Conspiracy to commit offences punishable by section 147.
Whoever within or without and beyond India conspires to commit any of the offences punishable by section 147, or conspires to overawe, by means of criminal force or the show of criminal force, the Central Government or any State Government, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Explanation.-To constitute a conspiracy under this section, it is not necessary that any act or illegal omission shall take place in pursuance thereof.
Under Section 148 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), whoever is a party to a criminal conspiracy to commit any offence punishable under Section 147 is punished in the same manner as if they had committed such offence. In criminal court proceedings intersecting with procedural enforcement under 148 bnss, Section 148 ensures that conspirators face equal statutory liability under the substantive penal law.
