This order shall dispose of CRM-M-25736-2020 (Shinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab) and CRM-M-28156-2020 (Jit Singh @ Jagmit Singh and another Vs. State of Punjab), as both the petitions arise out of the same FIR. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioners vehemently argue that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this FIR due to certain misunderstandings, which arose between family members. Furthermore, all the petitioners are attributed with injuries which have been declared simple in nature.
