In compliance of the aforesaid order, the Sessions Judge, Jalandhar, submitted his enquiry report. The relevant paragraph of the aforesaid report reads thus:-

"I have gone through the evidence recorded during the enquiry. From the record, I find that on receipt of the enquiry from the Hon'ble High Court, production warrants of applicants, Deepak Verma, Jatinder Kumar alias Bobby and Ajay Joshi alias Bhinda were issued for 6.3.2012 for recording their statements. On that date, they were produced in the court and when I asked them for recording their statements, all of them stated that they do no know about the purpose of calling them in the court on that day and requested for adjournment for making their statements, which was allowed and the enquiry was adjourned to 9.3.2012. On the next dated i.e.9.3.2012, they were got produced in the court from the Central Jail, Jalandhar. Along with them, an Advocate, namely, Sh. Ramandeep Singh Sandhu, also appeared and the counsel was told that it is the preliminary enquiry and he is not supposed to assist in the enquiry. Statements of these applicants were recorded in the court and they have deposed as per their version, which is also mentioned in the petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. From the conduct of the applicants, it is itself clear that they got the time only to get prepared for making the statements in the court and the presence of the Advocate with them shows that they have got legal help for making the statements. Secondly, from the perusal of the evidence of EW8 Dr. Rama Kant Nada, I find that as per the medical examination of Jatinder Kumar, there are two injuries of black contusion on the outer of right and left eye and there are four injuries, which are simply complaining of pain, etc. Similarly, as regarding Ajay Joshi, bruises were present on both upper eye lid and abrasion was present on left arm, left elbow and bruise was present on right hand in the middle and abrasion was present on left lower leg, just above ankle. Two injuries are stated to be complaint of pain. As regarding Deepak Verma, all the injuries were regarding complaining of pain. The Doctor has given all the injuries as simple. I have also recorded statement of Inspector Sukhdeep Singh, who has mainly deposed that the FIR was registered regarding their fight with the other group of one Surinder Pal alias Sup, etc in the premises of Central Jail, Jalandhar and in that case, they were brought to the Police Station. Some of the accused of both the parties were brought on police remand and were locked together in one police lock-up and they again quarreled and fight took place between both the groups and this fact has been mentioned in the DDR dated 16.11.2010. He also produced copy of the DDR, which is Ex.CI. EW7 HC Charanjit Singh brought the DDR register on that day. HC Chain Singh, whose name was also mentioned by the applicant, Ajay Joshi, he also denied the occurrence as alleged by the applicants and stated that they themselves quarreled with each other. From the perusal of the record and copy of the DDR which is Ex.CI dated 16.11.2010, it is duly proved that the parties quarreled with each other regarding which there is a report in the DDR. There is also mention in the DDR regarding the minor injuries to these persons and others, etc. This DDR is dated 16.11.2010 and this enquiry has been marked in the year 2012. In no way it can be held that at that time, the police officials were knowing that a complaint will be filed against them or they prepared false documents for about more than one year ago. None of the applicants has stated any fact regarding the quarrel between them and the opposite group of Surinder Pal etc. in the Central Jail, Jalandhar nor they talked anything regarding the fight/quarrel took place in the police lock up, which itself shows that their version cannot be believed. In my opinion, they received the injuries due to the fight between both the groups and they have filed this complaint against the SHO and other police officials. SHO has also stated that he is not the Investigating Officer in this case or in any other case. Therefore, in my view, the applicants received the injuries in their quarrel/fight."
