          State of Punjab had sought leave to appeal against the<\/p>\n
acquittal of respondent-accused and the same was granted        by this<\/p>\n
Court vide order dated 5.10.2000 and hence the present appeal against<\/p>\n
acquittal is before us.\n<\/p>\n
          Accused\/respondent namely Amar Singh son of Puran Singh,<\/p>\n
Sukhminder Singh, Narinder Singh, sons of Amar Singh, Sukhminder<\/p>\n
Singh, Rupinder Singh, sons of Nishan Singh Devinder Singh and Avtar<\/p>\n

No. 113 dated 3.10.1989 registered at Police Station Sahnewal,<\/p>\n
Ludhiana, under Sections 323, 324, 325, 326, 148 & 149 IPC.<\/p>\n
          In the FIR, it was stated by Gurdip Singh complainant that he
\n Criminal Appeal No. 530-DBA of 2000                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n
is resident of village Ghaloti, Police Station Payal. He came to village of<\/p>\n
accused Ramgarh on 1.10.1989 on the Housewarming Ceremony of<\/p>\n
his cousin Harwant Singh who had kept Akhand Path at his house. It is<\/p>\n
stated in the FIR that on 1.10.1989 at 6.00 P.M.,          Baldev Singh,<\/p>\n
Sukhdev Singh     and Harminder Singh had also come to attend the<\/p>\n
Akhand Path. On 1.10.1989 complainant Gurdip Singh, Baldev Singh,<\/p>\n
Sukhdev Singh and Harminder Singh were going to ease themselves<\/p>\n
and when they were crossing in front of the house of Amar Singh in the<\/p>\n
street, there Amar Singh along with his companion accused attacked<\/p>\n
them. At that time Amar Singh was armed with stick, Sukhwinder Singh<\/p>\n
with kirpan, Narinder Pal Singh with gandasa, Sukhwinder Singh with<\/p>\n
gandasa, Rupinder Singh with dang, Happy with iron rod and Bittu with<\/p>\n
dang. Sukhwinder Singh had caused kirpan blow on the right hand in<\/p>\n
the first finger of right hand of the complainant. Narinder Pal Singh hit<\/p>\n
him with gandasa on left ankle of the leg. Complainant fell down and<\/p>\n
raised alarm “MAR DITTA MAR DITTA”. When the complainant fell on<\/p>\n
the ground, Rupinder Singh, Happy and Bittu had also caused injuries<\/p>\n
with sticks. Complainant further alleged that while Baldev Singh,<\/p>\n
Sukhdev Singh and Harminder Singh intervened to rescue                 the<\/p>\n
complainant, accused had also caused them injuries. Complainant<\/p>\n
Gurdip Singh along with Baldev Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Harminder<\/p>\n
Singh were taken to hospital for medicolegal examination. The<\/p>\n
Investigating Officer arrived there and recorded the statement of<\/p>\n
complainant.\n<\/p>\n
          FIR was investigated. A report under Section 173 Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n
(challan) was filed in which it was stated that accused have committed
\n Criminal Appeal No. 530-DBA of 2000                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n
offence punishable under Sections 326, 325, 324, 323, 148 & 149 IPC<\/p>\n
          Learned trial Court charge sheeted the accused for above<\/p>\n
offences, on 18.2.1995.\n<\/p>\n
          Prosecution proved medical evidence by examining Dr. K.L.<\/p>\n
Kapur as PW.1 and Dr. Anupam Wats as PW.2.\n<\/p>\n
          Gurdip Singh complainant as PW.4, Baldev Singh and<\/p>\n
Harminder Singh eye witnesses appeared as PW.5 and PW.6,<\/p>\n
respectively.\n<\/p>\n
          Prem Nath, Assistant Sub Inspector, was examined as PW.3.<\/p>\n
          Darshan Singh was examined as PW.7.\n<\/p>\n
          Documents regarding injury, reports, pictorial diagrams of the<\/p>\n
injuries, X-ray Reports, First Information Report, site plan and other<\/p>\n
material documents were proved and exhibited.<\/p>\n
          Statements of accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C. were<\/p>\n
recorded. All the incriminating evidence was put to them and they<\/p>\n
denied the same.\n<\/p>\n
          In defence, accused examined Dr. Vimal Kanish as DW.1.<\/p>\n
          Om Parkash and Kuldip Kumar Singh were examined as<\/p>\n
DW.2 and DW.3, respectively. They tendered various documents<\/p>\n
including photocopy of medicolegal report of Amar Singh as Ex.D1,<\/p>\n
pictorial diagram as D2 and photocopy of sale deed as Ex.DW2\/1 and<\/p>\n
another certified copy of sale Deed Ex.DW3\/1 and other necessary<\/p>\n
documents were also got accepted.\n<\/p>\n
          Learned trial Court noticed that Gurdip Singh had suffered 18<\/p>\n
injuries out of which injury Nos. 3, 4 & 7 were caused with sharp edged<\/p>\n
weapon and rest of the injuries with the blunt weapons. Injury Nos. 1, 2,
\n Criminal Appeal No. 530-DBA of 2000                                     4<\/span><\/p>\n
3, 4, 5, 6, 14 & 16 were kept under observation.\n<\/p>\n
          Baldev Singh had suffered ten injuries. Injury Nos. 1 & 4 were<\/p>\n
declared grievous, while injuries No.2,3 and 5 to 10 were declared<\/p>\n
simple.\n<\/p>\n
          Sukhdev Singh had suffered four injuries and Harminder Singh<\/p>\n
had suffered one incised injury on the back of scalp.<\/p>\n
          Learned trial Court also noticed that Amar Singh was also<\/p>\n
medicolegally examined and he had suffered six injuries out of which<\/p>\n
injury Nos. 4 & 6 were declared grievous. Injury No.2 was on the left<\/p>\n
lower leg. Injury No.6 was on the left feet. It would be pertinent to<\/p>\n
mention here that accused Amar Singh had also suffered one injury i.e.<\/p>\n
injury No.1 on his head i.e. on his left frontal region. Learned trial Court<\/p>\n
also noticed the plea of defence counsel that the complainant party had<\/p>\n
a motive to attack as there was a dispute pending over piece of land in<\/p>\n
the village.\n<\/p>\n
          Learned trial Court held that cross case has been also<\/p>\n
registered in the same FIR against the complainant party for causing<\/p>\n
injuries to Amar Singh.\n<\/p>\n
          Learned trial Court formulated its opinion that the occurrence<\/p>\n
in the present case had taken place in front of residential house of<\/p>\n
accused Amar Singh. The complainant party had a motive to attack<\/p>\n
Amar Singh as there was a dispute over a piece of land pending<\/p>\n
between Amar Singh and Harwant Singh. Harwant Singh has also<\/p>\n
instituted a suit for specific performance against Bhajan Singh from<\/p>\n
whom Amar Singh had purchased the land. Thus, it was concluded that<\/p>\n
Harwant Singh’s party and Amar Singh’s party were on daggers drawn.
\n Criminal Appeal No. 530-DBA of 2000                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n
It could also be taken into consideration that Gurdip Singh had come<\/p>\n
from another village on the pretext of attending Akhand Path which was<\/p>\n
kept due to housewarming ceremony. It was the case of the prosecution<\/p>\n
that four persons who had come to house of Harwant Singh namely<\/p>\n
Gurdip Singh, Baldev Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Harminder Singh were<\/p>\n
passing in front of the house of the accused when the occurrence<\/p>\n
ensued. As per prosecution, these all four persons were empty handed.<\/p>\n
In this context, learned trial Court found the version of Amar Singh’s<\/p>\n
party to be natural and improbable that these accused had attacked<\/p>\n
Amar Singh and caused serious injuries, therefore, in self-defence<\/p>\n
injuries were caused to the complainant witness.<\/p>\n
          It is worthwhile to notice that no explanation had been<\/p>\n
furnished by the prosecution regarding the injuries suffered by Amar<\/p>\n
Singh, therefore, the origin and genesis of the occurrence has been<\/p>\n
suppressed by prosecution.\n<\/p>\n
          Taking into consideration the fact that Gurdip Singh belongs to<\/p>\n
another village and occurrence had taken place in front of the house of<\/p>\n
Amar Singh when on the pretext of easing themselves, four persons<\/p>\n
namely Gurdip Singh, Baldev Singh, Sukhdev Singh and Harminder<\/p>\n
Singh were passing in front of the house of Amar Singh who were none<\/p>\n
else but guest of Harwant Singh with whom Amar Singh was having<\/p>\n
inimical relations, it can be safely inferred that the complainant party was<\/p>\n
aggressor.\n<\/p>\n
          It has been urged before us by Mr. K.S.Dadwal, learned<\/p>\n
Additional Advocate General, Punjab, that nature and number of injuries<\/p>\n
suggest that accused party was aggressor. It has been stated that
\n Criminal Appeal No. 530-DBA of 2000                                  6<\/span><\/p>\n
Gurdip Singh had suffered 18 injuries, Baldev Singh 10 injuries,<\/p>\n
Sukhdev Singh four injuries and Harminder Singh one injury whereas<\/p>\n
Amar Singh has only suffered six injuries out of which two          were<\/p>\n
grievous and one injury was on the head. Therefore, it has been urged<\/p>\n
that in view of number and nature of injuries, accused can be held to be<\/p>\n
aggressors. We are of the view that right of self defence cannot be<\/p>\n
weighed in golden scales. Once Amar Singh was attacked, his son, and<\/p>\n
younger relations being there proved to be better than the complainant<\/p>\n
party and had caused injuries in their right of self-defence. Due to<\/p>\n
inimical relations of Amar Singh with Harwant Singh, occurrence in front<\/p>\n
of house of Amar Singh was not an innocent act.\n<\/p>\n
         Mr. Dadwal has failed to satisfy us as to how Amar Singh<\/p>\n
suffered injuries in case complainant party was empty handed.<\/p>\n
         We are also conscious that evidence is not to be re-<\/p>\n
appreciated in appeal against acquittal. The findings of learned trial<\/p>\n
Court are not perverse. The view formulated by learned trial Court is one<\/p>\n
view which is possible on the facts and circumstances of the case.<\/p>\n
Therefore, acquittal   of accused\/respondents cannot be disturbed.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we find no merit in the present appeal and the same is<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
