Explanation:

o constitute common intention it is necessary that the intention of each be known to all the others and be shared by them, whereas this is not so in the case of same or similar intention. For example - A, B, & C had the same or similar intention to kill D. They,all reached the house of D incidentally at the same time. There is no meeting of minds and hence their intention is same or similar and not common. To constitute common intention it is necessary,that the, intention of each be known to all the others and be shared by them whereas common object does not require a prior concert and a common meeting of minds. It is enough if each has the same object in view.
