Under the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), 1860, an unlawful assembly is defined as an assembly of five or more persons whose common object falls within the prohibited purposes mentioned in law, such as using criminal force, resisting lawful authority, committing an offence, or depriving a person of rights. A common object of an unlawful assembly does not include forcing people into a legal contract, as entering into contracts is a matter of civil law and cannot be achieved through the criminal objectives of an unlawful assembly. Political protests, public gatherings, or strikes may become unlawful only when they involve actions that fall within the legal definition of an unlawful assembly.
