Main Fact which must be proved to prove Criminal Conspiracy: Meeting of mind to do an illegal act

Criminal Conspiracy is a provision to convict those who commit crime but remain behind curtain.

It must be proved that players of alleged unlawful act had "meeting of mind" to do the said unlawful act.

This is a State of Mind. There are legal methods to prove "Criminal State of Mind". There are highly technical concepts craved out by Courts over many years of judicial experiences.

The court looks at different proved facts to see if case of conspiracy is made out. "Meeting of mind can be inferred from various other facts."
