Jai Chand is brother of principal accused Roshan Lal. Rakesh (P.W.3) has admitted that house of complainant party is not visible from the place of occurrence and the house of accused Jai Chand is situated near to the place of occurrence. We will reproduce the following part of cross-examination of Rakesh (P.W.3):- " >xM+s dh txg ls gekjk ?kj ugha fn[krk >xM+s dh txg ls gekjk ?kj djhc 60&70 dne dh nwjh ij gSA >xM+s dh txg fctyh ds iksy ds ikl t;pan dk ?kj gS ogha ij >xM+k gqvk FkkA 8. The prosecution story unfolded in the written report (Ex.P.4) can be summed up as under:- Rakesh (P.W.3) is son of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Saraswati (P.W.11) daughter of his uncle Lal Chand was student of 9th Class. The prosecution story unfolded in the written report (Ex.P.4) can be summed up as under:- Rakesh (P.W.3) is son of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Saraswati (P.W.11) daughter of his uncle Lal Chand was student of 9th Class. Sunny who being delinquent juvenile was sent for trial before the Juvenile Justice Board, was staying in the same mohallah where Saraswati (P.W.11) was residing. He used to tease Saraswati. Due to eve teasing by Sunny relations between the parties were strained. Few days before the occurrence on 30.12.2004 Sunny had harassed Saraswati (P.W.11) and qua this incident, primarily Saraswati had lodged complainant to her parents. On 18.1.2005 Saraswati (P.W.11) cousin of Rakesh (P.W.3) was again teased by Sunny. Rakesh (P.W.3) went to lodge a protest to the house of Roshan Lal father of Sunny in the evening between 7.30 to 8.00 PM. He complained to Roshan Lal that his son Sunny had again teased Saraswati (P.W.11) and the same is again not correct. Roshan Lal lost temper and pushed Rakesh (P.W.3) out of his house. He also caught hold of collar of Rakesh (P.W.3). Sunny gave a Kulhari blow on the shoulder of Rakesh (P.W.3). The injury started bleeding. Kalu s/o Jai Chand gave him kick and fist blows. Vinod s/o Om Prakash also gave blows. Rakesh (P.W.3) had returned to his house and informed the incident to his father Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) advised him not to pick up the fight and assured him that he will go to the house of Roshan Lal to sort out the matter. When Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) along with Rakesh (P.W.3) were going towards the house of Roshan, on the way Prakash who was son of elder brother of Birdhi Chand also met him. Seeing the three persons coming, Roshan Lal came out of his house armed with a sword and gave a sword blow on the face of Prakash. He caused another injury with sword on the neck of Prakash. Roshan gave a third sword blow in the abdomen of Prakash. Prakash fell on the ground. When Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) came forward to save Prakash, Roshan Lal also gave a sword blow on the head of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Meanwhile, Sunny s/o Roshan, Bunty nephew of Roshan and son of Prakash, Deepu s/o Suresh, Sunil s/o Suresh, Vinod s/o Om Prakash came armed with wooden sticks, iron rod and knife. Prakash fell on the ground. When Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) came forward to save Prakash, Roshan Lal also gave a sword blow on the head of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Meanwhile, Sunny s/o Roshan, Bunty nephew of Roshan and son of Prakash, Deepu s/o Suresh, Sunil s/o Suresh, Vinod s/o Om Prakash came armed with wooden sticks, iron rod and knife. Family members of Rakesh (P.W.3), Prakash and Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) also came forward to save them. Then Bunty and Sunil caused injuries with iron rod to Rajesh. Roshan also caused sword blow on the head of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Sunny caused injury with iron rod on the hand of Rajesh.

Dharmendra s/o Chhotu, Raju s/o Devendra, Murli s/o Madan, Bhaiya s/o Madan, Deepak s/o Jagdish also caused injuries with iron rod. Everybody ran here and there. Residents of the Mohallah had witnessed the occurrence. Condition of Prakash due to injuries received became precarious. He was taken to Yagya Narain Hospita from where he was referred to Hospital at Ajmer. Prakash died on the way. 9. From a perusal of the above written report (Ex.P.4) on the basis of which formal FIR (Ex.P.5) was registered, it is apparent that there is no mention made by the complainant regarding the injuries suffered by the accused. 10. As per written report (Ex.P.4) occurrence had taken place in four parts: (a) Firstly, Sunny had teased Saraswati (P.W.11); (b) Secondly, to complain against the conduct of Sunny, Rakesh (P.W.3) had gone to the house of Roshan Lal father of Sunny, there Rakesh (P.W.3) was given push by Roshan Lal and caused injuries by Sunny with a Kulhadi on the shoulder. Thereafter, Kalu and Vinod had given him kick and fists blows; (c) Third part of the occurrence is that Rakesh (P.W.3) came and made complaint to his father (P.W.5). At that stage, Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) accompanied by Rakesh (P.W.3) and Prakash deceased had gone to the lodge protest to the house of Roshan. Thereafter, Kalu and Vinod had given him kick and fists blows; (c) Third part of the occurrence is that Rakesh (P.W.3) came and made complaint to his father (P.W.5). At that stage, Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) accompanied by Rakesh (P.W.3) and Prakash deceased had gone to the lodge protest to the house of Roshan. Roshan came armed with a sword and caused injuries to Prakash and Birdhi Chand; (d) Fourth part of the occurrence commenced after Roshan had caused injuries on the person of Prakash deceased and Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Thereafter family members of Prakash deceased, Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) and Rakesh (P.W.3) arrived at the spot and other relations of Roshan also came there. At that stage as per the FIR, number of relations of Roshan principal accused had caused injuries to relations of deceased Prakash. 11.

Sita Devi (P.W.25), are simple in nature. Similarly all the four accused namely Sunny, Bunty, Jai Chand and Vinod had also suffered simple injuries in the occurrence, even though some of the accused had suffered injuries on the head. 26. Prosecution in all have examined thirty-one witnesses. We have already named the injured witnesses examined by the prosecution. 27.

Thereafter, statements of the accused were recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. They had pleaded innocence. 38. The present case hinges upon the testimony of injured eye-witnesses. Witnesses in court have made departure from the initial version which had surfaced in the written report leading to the registration of FIR. The witnesses in order to implicate all the accused made a deviation from the earlier part of investigation and attributed injuries on the person of Prakash deceased to other accused also. In the FIR all injuries on the person of Prakash deceased were attributed to Roshan Lal accused. Furthermore, none of the injured witness or eye-witness Munni Devi (P.W.12) have explained the injuries on the person of accused. In the FIR also complainant party is totally silent regarding the injuries suffered by the accused party. 39. In the FIR all injuries on the person of Prakash deceased were attributed to Roshan Lal accused.

Rajendra Kumar (P.W.8) deposed, " geis bl >xM+s esa eqyfteku ds pksVsa ugha igqapkbZ ge ij >wBk eqdnek py jgk gSaA 43. Munni Devi (P.W.12) in cross-examination testified as under:- " >xM+s ds ckn ge vius ?kj ugha vk;s gedks iqfyl okys vLirky ys x;s FksA bl >xM+s esa eqyfteku ds Hkh pksV vk;h gksaxhA Lor% dgk fd gekjs ikl gfFk;kj ugha FksA 44. By laying much stress on the above part of evidence reproduced by us, Shri R.K. Mathur learned senior counsel appearing along with Shri Peyush Nag on behalf of the accused-appellants has contended that in the present case the witnesses are not truthful, they have suppressed the true genesis and origin of the occurrence and non-explanation of the injuries on the person of accused should be construed as fatal to the prosecution. 45. It is further contended that since Rakesh (P.W.3) had gone to lodge a protest to the house of Roshan Lal and since there he was caused injuries. Thereafter, the complainant party being aggrieved armed with weapons had gone to the house of accused, where they opened assault and the accused had caused injuries in self defence. Thus, it is urged by counsel for the defence that the accused acted in complete right of self defence as complainant party came in front of the house of accused in order to take revenge of injuries caused to Rakesh (P.W.3). Thus, complainant party had picked up a fight. 46. We are not convinced with the arguments raised before us. 47. It is true that the complainant party had not explained the injuries on the person of four accused namely Sunny, Bunty, Jai Chand and Vinod, but as already stated by us, injuries on the person of these four accused are simple in nature, even though two accused had suffered simple injuries on head. To us, written report (Ex.P.4) contains spontaneous version. Occurrence had taken place on 18.1.2005 between 7.30 to 8.00 PM, written report was lodged at 9.15 PM. We will lend credence to the written report (Ex.P.4) leading to registration of FIR by holding that subsequently while appearing in court, the witnesses in order to inflate the number of accused and aggravate the role of accused had committed a blemish. Occurrence had taken place on 18.1.2005 between 7.30 to 8.00 PM, written report was lodged at 9.15 PM. We will lend credence to the written report (Ex.P.4) leading to registration of FIR by holding that subsequently while appearing in court, the witnesses in order to inflate the number of accused and aggravate the role of accused had committed a blemish. Therefore, by sifting grain from the chaff we will remove the embellishments which have occurred in the prosecution case and rely upon the written report (Ex.P.4) on the basis of which the FIR (Ex.P.5) was registered. 48. As stated by us earlier, to make protest over the conduct of Sunny who had eve teased Saraswati (P.W.11), Rakesh (P.W.3) had gone to the house of Roshan Lal where he was given a push, kick and fist blows and incised injury on his shoulder. He returned to his house and informed his father Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) along with Rakesh (P.W.3) and Prakash deceased had gone to the house of accused. As per written report (Ex.P.4), Roshan Lal had caused all injuries to Prakash. There is only one injury on the person of Rakesh (P.W.3) which he had received in earlier part of occurrence when he went to the house of Roshan Lal. Out of eight injuries on the person of Prakash deceased noted in the post-mortem, six injuries are incised injuries. They have been caused by Roshan Lal with a sword. Injury No.4 which is a fracture of clevical bone and injury No.8 a bruise on foot of Prakash deceased can be result of fall. Therefore, it is Roshan Lal who had caused all the injuries to deceased Prakash and also had given a blow with sword on the person of Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) in the third part of the occurrence. All other persons from the side of complainant namely Rajesh (P.W.6), Rajendra Kumar (P.W.8), Munni Devi (P.W.12), Mahendra Kumar (P.W.15), Alam Chand (P.W.16), Sita Devi (P.W.25) arrived at the spot, later when injuries had already been caused to Prakash deceased, one injury to Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). They were caused injuries after fatal injuries have been caused by Roshan Lal to Prakash deceased. These injuries have been caused in a melee by other accused who belonged to the family of Roshan Lal as their houses are situated near to the place of occurrence. They were caused injuries after fatal injuries have been caused by Roshan Lal to Prakash deceased. These injuries have been caused in a melee by other accused who belonged to the family of Roshan Lal as their houses are situated near to the place of occurrence. After Roshan Lal had caused injuries to Prakash and Birdhi Chand (P.W.5), persons of both sides were attracted to the spot, after hearing noise, then they clashed and caused simple injuries to each-other. Since accused and complainant party arrived at the spot after the injuries were caused to Prakash deceased by Roshan Lal and thereafter had clashed with each-other, we are of the view that it cannot be held that the accused constituted unlawful assembly. 49. We have already dissected the occurrence in four parts. First part being when Saraswati (P.W.11) was teased by Sunny; second part being when Rakesh (P.W.3) went to the house of Roshan, Rakesh (P.W.3) was pushed out of the house and was caused a solitary incised injury on his shoulder; third part of the occurrence is when Roshan Lal caused injuries to Prakash and Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) who were coming to the house of Roshan principal accused to lodge protest; and fourth part is when all other accused except Roshan Lal and Sunny were attracted at the spot along with other witnesses except Rakesh (P.W.3), Prakash deceased and Birdhi Chand (P.W.5). At that stage both sides caused injuries to each other. Therefore, after the fatal injuries have been caused by Roshan Lal to Prakash deceased and a sword injury to Birdhi Chand (P.W.5), fourth part of occurrence took place. Thus, all the accused except Roshan Lal can only be held responsible for the injuries caused by them falling within the ambit of Sections 323 and 324 IPC. 50. Therefore, we have no hesitation to hold that Roshan Lal accused by giving repeated blows had caused multiple injuries to Prakash and he alone is responsible for causing death of Prakash and simple incised injuries to Birdhi Chand (P.W.5) in the third part of the occurrence. It is later remaining accused and witnesses of the complainant were attracted to the spot fourth part of the occurrence had taken place and at that stage other accused had caused injuries to Birdhi Chand (P.W.5), Rajesh (P.W.6), Rajendra Kumar (P.W.8), Munni Devi (P.W.12), Mahendra Kumar (P.W.15), Alam Chand (P.W.16) and Sita Devi (P.W.25). It is later remaining accused and witnesses of the complainant were attracted to the spot fourth part of the occurrence had taken place and at that stage other accused had caused injuries to Birdhi Chand (P.W.5), Rajesh (P.W.6), Rajendra Kumar (P.W.8), Munni Devi (P.W.12), Mahendra Kumar (P.W.15), Alam Chand (P.W.16) and Sita Devi (P.W.25). Injuries on all these persons are simple in nature. 51. As a result of above discussion, we uphold the conviction of accused-appellant Roshan Lal s/o. Chhotu Lal for offence under Section 302 and 324 IPC. We acquit him of offences under Sections 323 and 148 IPC. We also affirm the sentence awarded to Roshan Lal for offence under Section 302 and 324 IPC by the trial court. So far remaining accused Sunil Kumar @ Sunit s/o Suresh Kumar, Rajulal s/o Prakash, Bunty s/o Prakash Chand, Amit @ Deepu s/o Suresh, Vinod s/o Om Prakash, Jai Chand s/o Chhotulal are concerned, we acquit them of offences under Sections 302/149 and 148 IPC. We uphold their conviction for offences under Sections 323 and 324 IPC and affirm their sentence awarded on these counts by the trial court. We also uphold conviction of Rakesh Kumar s/o Prakash Chand, Raju s/o Devendra, Murlidhar s/o Madanlal, Deepak Kumar s/o Jagdish Kumar, Rakesh @ Bhaiya s/o Madanlal and Dharmendra Kumar s/o Chhotulal for offences under Sections 323 and 324 IPC. They are acquitted of offence under Section 148 IPC. We affirm the sentence awarded to them on these two counts. Sentence awarded to the different appellants on two counts shall run concurrently and they shall also be entitled to benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C. 52. In view of above, present appeal stands disposed of.
