It was a quarrel in two groups. The incident happened in front of the house of the applicant. The applicant has a case that the other groups started assaulting his son. Hence, he with his family came out and in the fight, both sides were injured. The applicant went to save life of his son. Hence, he had to use the weapon. In fact, he has no intention to cause
the injury. The other side was aggressive. Hence, to save the life of his family members, he had used the weapon. The other side has no reason to come to his residence and assaulted them. His bad past is old. However, the role attributed to him is to be considered. It appears from the record that three people came to his home and started assaulting. Therefore, to protect the actions of the assailants, he had also used the weapon. Considering the peculiar circumstances, the Court is of the view that his past would not come in the way. The weapons have been recovered from him. Nothing is to be recovered from him. The injured has been discharged. In the circumstances, he deserves bail on certain conditions. Hence, the following order :
