Section 34 CPC: A Colonial Anomaly Still Standing

Yaar, have you ever thought Section 34 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) is straight outta the colonial era? It says that for an act to be considered 'done by all' under S. 34, it needs to be an 'illegal' or 'wrongful' combination of their acts, implying the intention behind it was common. But what if the acts were done in good faith? Why should they still be held liable? It's like saying a cricket team is responsible for the entire team's act of celebrating a wicket just because 1-2 overzealous teammates did a dance move that hurt someone. It's not fair. This provision is super outdated and needs to be revised to align with modern law thinking. In 2025, we need clarity and not ambiguity. This is something we need to discuss in our CLAT PG / AILET PG prep.
