Q: Is an statement of accomplice in a conspiracy group valid under section 10 of Cr.P.C ?

Ans: When any offence is committed by offender after conspiracy in a group,  Section 10 of evidence act, 1872 becomes relevant. There must be two or more persons conspired together to commit an offence for anything said, anything written and anything done.

There must be existence of conspiracy and the persons making statement must be part of such conspiracy and the alleged person must conspire together with such members.The section 10 of evidence act underlines theory of agency. So, the section 10 of evidence act mentions that if a person becomes a part of conspiracy of any group,  his statement against the another conspirator in group would become relevant.
