submitted that dispute erupted because of some admonition extended to the
children of complainant side regarding alleged mischief committed by them for
procuring jack fruits from the premises of appellant. Thereafter, both the parties
met at Dhaba, where sudden altercation precipitated, the course of events in such a
manner, whereby Rakesh, who was wielding katta tried to fire over present
appellant. In relation thereof, under right to private defence, appellant opened fire
from the same katta over deceased Lokendra. It was a case of single gunshot
injury. Even if, a right to private defence is exceeded then even case would fall
under first exception to Section 304 of IPC and it would not be a case of murder
per se under Section 302 of IPC. Learned counsel for the appellant relied upon
judgment of Apex Court in this regard in the case of Jangir Singh Vs. State of
Punjab reported in (2019) 13 SCC 813 . Appellant has already suffered seven years
and ten months of incarceration including pre and post-trial conviction. Appellant
has good case on merits and hearing of appeal would take some time. That apart,
he undertakes to abide by the terms and conditions as imposed by this Court. He
further undertakes not to be a source of embarrassment and harassment to the
complainant side in any manner. On the aforesaid submissions, he prays for
suspension of sentence and grant of bail to present appellant.
