16) Thereafter, the prosecution evidence was closed and the statement of accused persons was recorded under Section 281 read with Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 wherein the entire incriminating evidence was put to the accused persons who maintained their innocence. Accused persons stated that "We have been falsely implicated as we were not present at the place of incident. Police officials in connivance with the complainant has filed a false case against us. Complainant and his family members have broken glasses of our car." Accused persons have chosen to lead defence evidence.

17) Smt. Sunita was examined as DW-1, Sh. Jasbir was examined as DW-2 and Ms. Sonal Jose, Asst. Ahlmad of this Court was examined FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 11 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:06 +0530 as DW-3. They were duly cross examined by Ld. APP for the State. DW-1 and DW-2 were residents of the same locality. DW-3 produced the original file of Case bearing no. 23726/2019 title as "Jitender vs. Ajay etc." Copy of the complaint of the said case alogwith evidence of CW-1 and CW-2 are Ex.DW3/1 (OSR). Thereafter, matter was fixed for final arguments.

18) Final arguments as advanced by the Ld APP for the State and by Ld. counsel for the accused have been carefully considered along with the evidence on record. Ld. counsel for the accused has mainly argued that there are many inconsistencies and contradictions in the statements of the public witnesses which create a reasonable doubt. The alleged incident had not taken place inside the house and there are defence witnesses on record who have deposed the same.

19) It is a settled proposition of law that in a criminal trial, it is for the State to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubts by leading reliable, cogent and convincing evidence and it is for the prosecution to ensure that its case is able to stand on its own legs. The prosecution cannot derive any benefit whatsoever from the weakness of the defence of the accused if any. Accused is entitled to the benefit of every reasonable doubt in the prosecution version.

20) There are two eye witnesses primarily around which the prosecution case has revolved around, both being allegedly the injured in this case. Before delving into the reliability of the testimonies of the eye FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 12 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:11 +0530 witnesses, it is necessary to refer a recent judgment in which Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has laid down the principles involved in order to appreciate the testimonies of injured eye witnesses.

21) In Balu Sudam Khalde and Another vs. State of Maharashtra 2023 SCC OnLine SC 355, Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held, as under:

"26. When the evidence of an injured eye- witness is to be appreciated, the under-noted legal principles enunciated by the Courts are required to be kept in mind:
(a) The presence of an injured eye-witness at the time and place of the occurrence cannot be doubted unless there are material contradictions in his depositions.
(b) Unless, it is otherwise established by the evidence, it must be believed that an injured witness would not allow the real culprits to escape and falsely implicate the accused.
(c) The evidence of injured witness has greater evidentiary value and unless compelling reasons exist, their statements are not to be discarded lightly.
(d) The evidence of injured witness cannot be doubted on account of some embellishment in natural conduct or minor contradictions.
(e) If there be any exaggeration or immaterial embellishments in the evidence of an injured witness, then such contradiction, exaggeration or embellishment should be discarded from the evidence of injured, but not the whole evidence.
(f) The broad substratum of the prosecution version must be FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 13 of 19 Digitally signed by SANYAM SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:15 +0530 taken into consideration and discrepancies which normally creep due to loss of memory with passage of time should be discarded."

22) The offences with which the accused persons are charged with in this case are - Sec. 323 - punishment for voluntarily causing simple hurt; Sec. 341 - punishment for wrongful restraint; sec. 452 - House trespass after preparation for assault, hurt or wrongful restraint; sec. 506 - punishment for criminal intimidation read with Sec 34 i.e. acts done in furtherance of common intention. The evidences and testimonies compel this court to deal with each of the charges separately one after the other.

23) Sec 341 - Wrongful Restraint. The offence of wrongful restraint can be called to have been committed once an individual is obstructed/prevented from moving in any direction. In this case, PW1's testimony is completely silent if he was ever restrained by any of the accused persons. Secondly, PW2 has categorically denied in her testimony that she was never restrained by the accused persons during the scuffle. The allegations itself do not constitute the basic ingredients of the offence involved therefore court need not delve further into the veracity of the testimonies.

24) Sec. 452 - House trespass with preparation to commit hurt, assault or wrongful restraint. The testimony of the PW1 is largely silent about any entry by the accused persons in the house of the PW1. Secondly, FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 14 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:20 +0530 the circumstances as have come on record also points towards the lack of any evidence as to entry of the accused persons in the house. It is an admitted fact that there was a daughter and wife of PW1 present in the house but they were never examined by the investigation or the prosecution. Furthermore, the PW1 lived on the first floor and if the accused persons had entered therein with the dandas, the commotion would have surely been different and evidences of forcible entry would have surely come on record as well. But the entire investigation seems to be silent about the same. Furthermore, DW1 and DW2's testimonies also support the version put forth by the accused that the entire incident had taken place out on the street and not in the house of the complainant. In view of no serious allegations pertaining to forcible entry, the charges under this section are also not sustainable.

25) Sec. 506 - criminal intimidation. Reliance in this regard, can be placed upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court on Section 506 IPC in Manik Taneja & Anr. Vs State of Karnataka & Anr, (2015) 7 SCC 423. In the said judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that:- It is the intention of the accused that has to be considered in deciding as to whether what he has stated comes within the meaning of 'Criminal intimidation'. The threat must be with intention to cause alarm to the complainant to cause that person to do or omit to do any work. Mere expression of any words without any intention to cause alarm would not be sufficient to bring in the application of this section. But material has to be placed on record to show that the intention is to cause alarm to the complainant.' In this case, the words as allegedly used by the FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 15 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:33 +0530 accused and stated by the complainant PW1 in his testimony do not qualify to the level where an alarm could have been caused to the complainant and from the circumstances as would be discussed later, it is also under doubt if the accused person had any intention to cause alarm to the complainant. The prosecution has also not bothered to corroborate the said fact by any other evidence or from the testimony of the witness himself. So, the charges under this section are also not sustainable.

26) Lastly, the only section i.e. Sec 323 - Punishment for voluntarily causing simple hurt, is left for the consideration of this court. There is no dispute to the effect that a dispute had arisen between the family of the complainant and the accused persons over the parking of a Honda car. The presence of accused persons at the spot is not in doubt and their identities are also well established. Only point for consideration of this court is if the act of violence has been proven by the prosecution as an act against the complainant and injured or not. The complainant PW1 was admittedly a police officer. It is also peculiar to note that senior police officials were present at the spot after the incident. At this point, it becomes imperative that the version of the accused persons be also taken into consideration. The accused have alleged that the sons of the complainant damaged the Honda car and stole 3.5 Lakh from the car. The alleged scuffle took place with the sons and which thereafter got escalated. PW1 stated that sons were not present at the spot which was directly contradicted by the statement of PW2. This court believes the presence of the sons of the accused FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 16 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:47 +0530 persons at the spot. The contemporaneous DD entries as have been proven by DW3 also become relevant. They showcase that the defence raised by the accused persons is not an afterthought.

27) This court finds that the factum of scuffle is not in dispute and that the injuries incurred by both the PW1 and PW2 are also not in dispute. But, the fact that the victim worked in police department and have been given special treatment by the investigation agency cannot be ignored as well. No public witnesses were made to join the investigation even though the presence of public persons have come on record in the testimony of both the PW2 and the IO. No explanation has been forthcoming for such an anomaly. Therefore, it is yet to be determined if the said injuries can be said to have been caused voluntarily, which has been defined u/s 39 IPC.

28) It is an admitted fact that there were many people who had gathered at the place of incident. The scuffle caused injuries to other persons present there as well. The injuries were allegedly caused by dandas. The said dandas were not recovered. Rather, the defence has been successful in bringing DW1 on record who is also one of the injured. In these circumstances, prosecution has failed to prove that the scuffle and resultant injuries were started and caused by whom. The mere fact that other injured were also not made part of investigation and only family member of complainant was made a witness, raises doubt over the veracity of the whole case. This court believes that the prosecution has failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. There are FIR No. 47/2011 (PS Kanjhawala) U/s 323/341/452/506/34 IPC State Vs . Jitender etc. Page No. 17 of 19 SANYAM Digitally signed by SANYAM JAIN JAIN Date: 2026.04.08 16:32:51 +0530 enough doubts that have been raised during the trial which raises doubt over the voluntariness of the trial as well as who was the aggressor. Even the prosecution's version itself starts from the admission that it was the complainant who started the quarrel first for parking. On the contrary, the accused's consistence defence, backed by DW2 shows that the complainant's sons were the aggressors. In light of these circumstances, in absence of any independent corroboration this court finds the accused persons to be not guilty of the offence u/s 323 IPC.

29) The MLCs have duly proved that the injury caused to the victims in this case was simple in nature and it has also been amply clear from the testimonies of the witnesses that accused had entered the house of complainant armed with sharp weapons.
