Ramnath Yadav vs State Of Chhattisgarh on 15 October, 2019
In the light of what has been observed by the Supreme Court in
the above referred matters of Parusuraman alias Velladurai
and others (supra) and Khuman Singh and others (supra), if we
consider the evidence available in the case at hand, it is seen
that deceased Shivbaran had received only two injuries on his
person, the first being a mild swelling and second being a
bruise. The first injury had blood clot beneath the scalp over
the left temporoparietal region. There was no visible serious
external injury. He suffered extra dural blood clot on the left
side of temporoparietal region and left side of occipital region
due to injury No.1, however, the accused persons were not
aware that internal bleeding beneath the mild swelling over the
left temporoparietal region would occasion death of the
deceased. The fact that the first injury was not accompanied
with any fracture of any part of the skull would itself show that
it was not a serious injury. Moreover, both the parties were
fighting with each other and in that course, the deceased
sustained injuries by means of club which cannot be said to
have been caused with an intention to commit murder. The
intention was only to cause grievous hurt.
