As per case facts, the appeals stem from a 1999 incident where Jarnail Singh and his brother were attacked by Ujaggar Singh and others, leading to Nachhattar Singh's death. The ... motive was a land dispute. FIRs and cross-FIRs were registered, resulting in convictions for both parties. Ujaggar Singh and Rattan Singh died during proceedings. The appeal to the High Court challenges the conviction, with appellants arguing self-defense and the complainant party refuting it as a false counter-blast. The question arose whether the appellants acted in self-defense or if it was a free fight, and whether their convictions should be upheld. Finally, the High Court determined the incident was a free fight in the street, not self-defense, given the severity and number of injuries, especially to the deceased. It acquitted Kulwinder Singh due to doubtful involvement but upheld the convictions and sentences against Kesar Singh and Harbhajan Singh, and dismissed the cross-appeal, affirming the convictions of Jarnail Singh and others.
