3. Learned APP would point out that since the first incident happened in marriage ceremony, the present applicant was consistently in contact on phone with the contract killer, the co-accused. Thereafter, the incident happened. The intention is to be gathered from the acts committed by the applicant. The applicant was intending to kill the applicant assaulting him on his head. However, the applicant blocked the assault by hands and his fingers were very badly cut. He has also referred to the injury report. Further, he would argue that the applicant has a terror in the village. For no reason, the applicant assaulted the injured. There was a C.D.R. report showing that the applicant was in consistent contact with the contract killer. That apart, there is other incriminating evidence against the applicant.

5. Perused the charge sheet. A consistent statement has been made by the injured that the applicant tried to assault him with sickle on his head. However, he blocked it by hand and his fingers have been severely cut. His statement is supported with the medical report. The C.D.R. report also indicates that the applicant was consistently in contact with co- accused, who is allegedly the contract killer. The record produced by the learned APP corroborates his contention that there were number of cases pending against the alleged contract killer. As far as, Section 307 of the IPC is concerned, the injury is not at all required. The conduct of the assailants is material. At the same time, while doing the act, the intention or knowledge and circumstances are also to be considered.
