As per case facts, on April 26, 2002, Jaspal Singh and Narinder Singh (deceased) were attacked by appellants Rajbir Singh , Jagjiwan Joshi and a co-accused with 'sua' weapons in ... a market. A prior dispute had been compromised. The deceased sustained fatal head injuries and died on May 1, 2002. The appellants were also injured. The Trial Court convicted them under Section 302/34 IPC. The appeals challenged the conviction, arguing false implication, right of private defense, delayed FIR, and non-explanation of injuries to the accused. The question arose whether the appellants' defense was valid or if the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt despite the alleged infirmities. Finally, the High Court dismissed the appeals, ruling that the private defense plea was unsubstantiated, the prosecution's case was cogent, and minor discrepancies did not undermine the conviction, establishing a pre-concert and shared intention to cause death.
