19.Ld. APP for state has argued that on the complaint of complainant SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 11/23 Ex.PW2/A FIR No.400/2007 was registered u/s 323/341/506/34 IPC against the accused persons. Ld. APP for the state further argued that all the three accused persons were charged us/ 308/323/341/506/34 IPC. Ld. APP for the State further argued that as per PW2 Kamal, injured, all the three accused persons had beaten him with killi (baseball) on his leg and head, hence all these accused persons are jointly liable. PW2 had correctly identified the accused persons and this is the witness of recovery of stick from accused Shankar. Ld. APP for the State further argued that nature of injury is simple. Ld. APP for the State has further argued that accused Shankar and Monu had hit the injured on his head as vital part of the body and accused Raj Kumar @ Baboo had hit the injured on his neck. PW3 is the witness of recovery from accused Shankar and his arrest. PW5 is the witness of arrest of accused Monu and recovery of weapon i.e. Baseball from accused Monu. Ld. APP for State has further argued that no recovery has been made from accused Raj Kumar @ Baboo and he was arrested on anticipatory bail. PW7 Dr. Raj Kumar has deposed on behalf of Dr. Ali that CT Scan report impression are normal. PW9 Dr. Ashish Rustagi had opined SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 12/23 the nature of injury as grievous. Hence, Ld. APP for the State has prayed to convict the accused persons under the section for which they have been charged.

20.On other hand Ld. defence counsel for accused persons argued that baseball stick and killi are not similar as claimed by the complainant by which he had been allegedly beaten. ld. Counsel for accused persons further submits that complainant in his statement admitted that there are 3 to 4 persons in the name of Shankar in his locality. Ld. Defence counsel has further argued that PW2 Kamal, complainant, in his examination in the court states that he was going to make a telephone call wherein statement to police he states that he was standing outside of his house. Ld. Defence counsel has further argued that in his examination he states that accused Monu caught hold him whereas in statement to police this witness states that accused Baboo had caught hold him from his waist and this witness further states that he had gone to spot with the police and had identified the accused Shankar in P.S. Whereas Shankar was brought by police where he identified him there. Ld. SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 13/23 Defence counsel has further submitted that PW2 states that he had seen accused Shankar in P.S. after the incident and he does not know from where police arrested the accused Shankar. Ld. Defence counsel has further argued that complainant admits that it is correct that he had told the Investigating Officer that accused Shankar resides in 3­B, Nand Nagri who had quarreled with him on 09.05.2007. Ld. Defence counsel has further argued that further in cross examination u/s 311 Cr.P.C. complainant/PW2 states that he was running his business from the pavement of D­Block near Mandoli Chungi and incident took place in Gali of block No.A­2 near Tikona Park, Nand Nagri whereas site plan does not disclose Tikona Park or B­Block, only A­ Block has been shown. Ld. Counsel for accused persons further argued that PW Shahnawaj in his statement u/s 161 Cr.P.C. states that he had gone to PS for his some urgent work where he had identified accused Raj Kumar @ Baboo s/o Ashok Kumar. Again this witness u/s 161 Cr.P.C. states that he had identified accused Monu who has been arrested from 212 Bus Stand whereas PW3 HC Chhote Lal states in his cross examination that accused Shankar was arrested from place at half kilometers from P.S. Ld. Defence SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 14/23 counsel has further argued that in his cross examination PW5 Ct. Devender states the complainant is Shahnawaj whereas the complainant in the present case is Kamal and in MLC no depth of injury has been mentioned.

21.Ld. counsel for accused has relied upon judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in case titled as "Ramesh and others Vs. State, 2010 (1) LRC 270 (Del)," where it has been held that :

"Merely because an injury found on head, it cannot be said that such an injury caused with intention to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder­ Nature of injury coupled with circumstances in which the same had been caused shows that there was no intention or knowledge on part of accused to cause such injuries which would have resulted in death of injured - ingredients of S. 308/34 IPC not attracted - Conviction altered from S. 308/34 to one under S. 323/34 IPC and appellants directed to be released on probation."

22.Ld. counsel for accused persons has further argued that IO ASI Rambir Singh states that he reached at house of Monu at 5:30 p.m. And again he states that he reached at the house of accused Monu at 9:30 p.m. And again SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 15/23 said that he left the house of Monu at 7:30 p.m.

23.Ld. counsel for accused persons has further argued that PW6 Dr. Ravinder singh never states that injury to PW Kamal was grievous or endanger to life.

24.Ld. counsel for accused persons has relied upon judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in case titled as "Pokhar Singh & Another Vs. State, 2010 (3) JCC 1600," where it has held that :

" Also the injury on the right hand of the complainant cannot be said the injury endangers to life­ Thus charge of grievous hurt not made out."

25. Ld. Counsel for accused persons has further argued that no case is pending against any of the accused persons except the present case. On this ground, Ld. Counsel for accused persons prayed for acquittal of all the accused persons from the charges.

SC No.75/2009

State Vs. Monu and others 16/23

26.Argument heard. Record perused. On perusal of record it is revealed that DD No.29A Ex.PW8/A was recorded regarding causing of stabbing in a quarrel and on further perusal of record it is revealed that accused persons have caused injuries to the victim by killi/baseball stick as per seizure memo Ex.PW3/C and Ex.PW5/D. It is further revealed that MLC of injured Kamal shows the nature of injury is simple. MLC or medical treatment documents does not reflect that injured was disfigured or advised for twenty days rest due to pain in terms of section 320 IPC which refers to grievous injury. A mere blunt as per MLC it cannot be presumed that injury was grievous.

27.On perusal of record, it is revealed that on the statement of PW2 Kamal Ex.PW1/A, FIR No. 400/2007 Ex.PW4/A u/s 323/341/506/34 IPC was registered and all the accused persons namely Monu, Shankar and Babbu were arrested and booked for offences u/s 323/325/308/341/506/34 IPC. SC No.75/2009

State Vs. Monu and others 17/23

28.On perusal of record, it is further revealed that PW2 Complainant Kamal who had sustained injuries and had correctly identified all the accused persons as culprits. However, it is clear that there was a quarrel between complainant and accused persons and in that quarrel complainant had sustained injuries. PW6 Dr. Ravinder Singh has proved the MLC of injured as Ex.PW6/A and PW9 Dr. Ashish Rustagi has proved the endorsement Ex.PW9/A upon the MLC Ex.PW6/A on behalf of Dr. R.P. Singh and nature of injury has been opined as grievous. Since MLC of injured PW2 Kamal does not suggest that nature of injury was grievous. Mere saying by the doctor that nature of injury was grievous cannot be counted without its corroboration.

29.It is the fundamental principle of criminal law that in case of conviction of accused persons the prosecution is required to prove the guilt of accused beyond reasonable doubt. Hon'ble Supreme Court on this point has observed in a case titled as 'Vijayee Singh Vs State of UP AIR 1990 SC SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 18/23 1459' that:

"'Reasonable doubt' is one which occurs to a prudent and reasonable man­ The 'reasonable doubt' is one which occurs to a prudent and reasonable man. Section 3 while explaining the meaning of the words 'proof', disproved' and 'not proved' lays down the standard of proof, namely about the existence or non­existence of the circumstances from the point of view of a prudent man. The section is so worded as to provide for two conditions of mind, first, that in which a man feels absolutely certain of a fact, in other words, 'believe it to exist' and secondly in which, though he may not feel absolutely certain of a fact, he thinks it so extremely probable that a prudent man would under the circumstances act on the assumption of its existence. The act while adopting the requirement of the prudent man as an appropriate concrete standard by which to measure proof at the same time contemplates of giving full effect to be given to circumstances or condition of probability or improbability. It is this degree of certainty to be arrived where the circumstances before a fact can be said to be proved. A fact is said to be disproved when the court believes that it does not exist or considers its non­ existence so probable in the view of a prudent man the fact is not proved, i.e. neither proved nor disproved. It is this doubt which occurs to a reasonable man, has legal recognition in the field of criminal disputes. It is something different from moral conviction and it is also different from a suspicion. It is the result of a process of keen examination of the entire material on record by 'a prudent man'."

Now the sole question arises as to whether the injuries suffered by the accused persons were caused with the intention to cause attempt the culpable homicide with such intention or knowledge and in this regard section 308 IPC is reproduced as under :

Section 308 IPC "308 Attempt to commit culpable homicide - Whoever does any act with such intention or knowledge and under such circumstances that, if he by that act caused death, he would be guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 19/23 may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both." Ingredients of offence under this sections are
1. Accused commited an act;
2. The act was committed with the intention or knowledge of committing culpable homicide not amounting to murder;
3. The act was committed in such circumstances that if the accused by that had caused the death of the victim he would be held guilty for culpable homicide.

30.Theme of section 308 IPC is that injury must have been caused with such intention and knowledge which may cause death, he would be guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and circumstances in which accused had caused the death of victim he would be guilty of culpable homicide.

31.Since the present case has been registered on DD No.29A dated 10.5.2007 regarding stabbing in a quarrel and further the facts of the present case disclosed that injuries caused by cricket stumps (killi) and baseball stick upon the head and leg of the complainant and on neck and MLC suggest that nature of injury is simple however, it reflects only simple injury which has been sustained in the quarrel. It is a human nature that in a quarrel one tried to save himself from injury and in the present case complainant has been SC No.75/2009 State Vs. Monu and others 20/23 disputed at one place, PW5 described Shahnawaj as a complainant whereas the complainant is PW2 Kamal in the present. For bring the case under section 308 IPC it is necessary that injury must have been caused with such intention and knowledge and under such circumstance that if death is caused he would be held guilty for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

32.Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in judgement "Desh Raj Vs. Kewal Krishan and others, CRL. Rev. P.544/2001," has held that :

"Court had gathered the intention and knowledge on the part of the accused person from this oral and ocular versions of PW­1 and Pw­2 as also the manner in which the assault had taken place ; the part of the body on which the injury had been caused. The fact that the only one injury had been suffered by the victim; the fact that all the three accused persons were armed with three separate weapons i.e. a danda, an iron rod and a thapi yet the injury was a single blunt blow on the scalp of Desh Raj; had the accused persons the criminal intention to cause death they could have caused the death and injuries would have been in the plural and would have been on other vital parts of the body as well. The single simple blow injury suffered by Desh Raj had led the Court to conclude that the offence made out against the accused persons is one under Section 323 of the IPC".
SC No.75/2009
State Vs. Monu and others 21/23
33.This court is also of the view that since the complainant Kamal had sustained one simple blunt on his head and sustained no injury on the vital part of his body. It is clear from the acts of accused persons that they acted without knowledge and intention to cause death of complainant. If they had any such intention they would have caused multiple injury on his vital part of body. It is not necessary that nature of the injury suffered by a victim may always be true test to determine the offence committed by accused persons.
34.Since injuries caused to complainant Kamal is simple in nature and recovery of weapon of offences i.e. Killi and baseball stick has been made from the possession of accused persons namely Shankar and Monu. Since quarrel had taken place all of sudden hence it cannot be said that there was any knowledge or intention on part of accused persons to commit culpable homicide.
SC No.75/2009
State Vs. Monu and others 22/23
35.Therefore, keeping in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, this court of the view that prosecution has failed to prove its case against accused persons beyond reasonable doubt for the offence u/s 308/34 IPC as ingredients of these sections do not meet out.
36.However, fact of quarrel and injury have been proved by the prosecution which is simple in nature. Accordingly, this court hereby alter the charges u/s 308 /34 IPC to 323/34 IPC and hold all the accused persons guilty under section 323/34 IPC.

Counsel for convict further stated that convict belongs to a poor family and he is having responsibility of their families. Ld. Counsel for convicts has requested for lenient view and requested to release the convicts for the sentence already undergone against the convicts.

Contrary to the submissions of ld. counsel for the convict, Ld. APP submits that since the offence has been proved against the accused persons under section 323 IPC. They must be sentenced according to provisions of law to teach a lesson to such uncivilized persons.

Keeping in view the present scenario and the fact that the convicts are of young age and have remained in JC for about 10 days and convicts are having responsibility their families.
