No one has entered appearance on behalf of the petitioner, hence, it is deemed expedient to nominate an 

 Dr. Deepa Singh, who is present in the Court, is appointed as the 

 to represent the case on behalf of petitioner to arrive at a decision. She has perused the case file and submits that the present FIR came to be registered on 12.09.2021 upon receipt of information regarding injuries sustained by Gurmeet Singh, who


had been admitted to Nivaran Hospital, Bathinda. Since the injured was declared unfit to make a statement, Rapat No. 002 was recorded to that effect. Subsequently, the injured succumbed to his injuries on 12.09.2021, whereafter the instant FIR was formally registered on the basis of a statement made by Harpreet Kaur, wife of the deceased. In her statement, Harpreet Kaur alleged that on 01.09.2021 at about 8:00 P.M., she heard a commotion outside her house. On going out along with her husband Gurmeet Singh (since deceased), they saw their neighbours Mangal Singh, Karni Singh, and Raja Singh quarreling with her brothers-in-law, Lakhwinder Singh (Jeth) and Seepa Singh (Devar). At that time, Karni Singh was holding a stick.

When Gurmeet Singh tried to intervene, Karni Singh struck him on the head with the stick, causing him to fall to the ground, whereafter the accused persons fled the scene with their respective weapons. A vehicle was arranged, and the injured was first taken to Civil Hospital, Sri Muktsar Sahib, from where he was referred to Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot. However, the family chose to shift him to Nivaran Hospital, Bathinda, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Accordingly, a case under Sections 304 and 34 IPC was registered against Mangal Singh, Karni Singh (the present petitioner), and Raja Singh.

Subsequently, a supplementary statement of Harpreet Kaur was recorded, in which she disclosed the involvement of Kala Singh son of Pirthi Singh, and clarified that the petitioner Karni Singh was armed with an iron pipe fitted with an iron gear, which he used to assault and kill her husband Gurmeet Singh. In consequence, the offence was modified to Section 302 IPC vide Rapat No. 27 dated 13.09.2021.
