In pursuance of the objective of the larger conspiracy, when smaller plans are made and
executed to cause an incident of a riot at a particular place or area involving some other persons (perhaps including local persons), this becomes a case of smaller conspiracy under Umbrella Conspiracy, the court had added.
"Therefore, FIR 59/20 (For larger conspiracy) as referred herein above is to be treated to cover the aspect of Umbrella Conspiracy. The allegations and evidence in this case, have to be assessed to find out the existence of a smaller conspiracy peculiar to the incident covered in this case," the court had observed. (ANI)
