Jai Narain, who is the petitioner here, was the informant.A free translation of what he said is as under : 'Iam a resident of village Deendarpur and cultivate land.A civil litigation was going on between my father, Ami Lal, and Fazal.Mohammed in respect of some land.Yet, there can be complexities as is borne out by this petition for revision, which has arisen in the following circumstances.The case against them appears sufficiently from the first information recorded by the police.The land was about 30 or 35 bighas in area.In front of the house of Raghunath and Kanwar Singh, there is some land belonging to the Gaon Sabha on which everyone throws their garbage.Today, when Sarvati, the wife of Chhotu Ram, who is my uncle's son, was throwing garbage there as usual, Zile Singh, Khushi Ram and Fazal Mohammed came there and using foul abuses they scolded her.They forbade her from throwing garbage there.IN the meantime, on hearing the noise, my father and Chhotu Ram, the son of my uncle, came there and told Fazal Mohammed and the others not to use abusive, language.On hearing the loud voices, Raghunath, Mani Ram, Attar Singh, Reham Ali.Kanwar Singh and Rattan Singh also came there.At that time, Fazal Mohammed was holding a ballam (a short spear), Zile Singh a bhala (a large spear), Khushi Ram a jaili (a rake), and the others had lathis (staffs) in their hands.Then Fazal Mohammed attacked my father with the ballam, and my father fell down as he had been hit on the head and face.In order to save him, I and Chhotu Ram lay upon my father, who had fallen to, the ground.Zile then struck me with the bhala and I sustained injuries .on my head arid left leg.Raghunath, Mani Ram, Rattan Singh, Kanwar Singh and Attar Singh caught Chhotu Rain.He, too, has sustained injuries.Ram struck me and my father with both sides of the jaili he was holding and caused injuries.In the course of this, Deen Dayal,.Subey Singh and Jage Ram came to our rescue with lathis, and saved us from their clutches.MY father Ami Lal had become unconscious at the spot.Thereafter, all of us first came to the Najafgarh dispensary.There, my father succumbed to his injuries.All of us who were injured were then brought to Safdarjang Hospital in a vehicle belonging to the hospital.I know Fazal Mohammed, Khushi Ram, Zile Singh, Reham Ali, Raghunath, Mani Ram, Ratt an Singh, Attar Singh and Kanwar Singh from before.(These are the nine respondents).They collected together and wounded me, my father Ami Lal, and Chhotu Ram with the bhala, ballam, jaili and lathis with ' the intention of murdering us.I am lodging this complaint against them.This incident occurred at about 9.30 a.m.' IN the course of in,ves'iigation, the police recorded the statements of a number of persons.(3) On 9th March 1981, the Additional Sessions Judge framed three joint charges against the respondents.In all of them it was alleged that the offence charged had been committed in furtherance of their common intention, and section 34 of the Indian Penal Code was recited..The second was under se Section 307 for attempting to murder Ghhota Ram.the third, was under sections 323 and 324 for having voluntarily caused' simple hurt to Jai Narain by means of a sharp edged and blunt weapons'.Before framing these charges, the matter was fully argued and the judge made a reasoned order.On all these scores, Jai Narain is aggrieved and seeks revision of that order.Although the State has not itself applied for revision (I was told that its petition was delayed by administrativ.e procedures but was in the offing), the Additional Public Prosecutor unreservedly supported all the submissions made on behalf of Jai Narain.
