No. M-32454 of 2009 [2] many as five prosecution witnesses have already been recorded including Angrej Singh (complainant-respondent No.2). I have considered the issue. Recital in the FIR indicates that petitioner, Harkomal Singh took out a pistol and fired towards the complainant with intention to kill him. The complainant however saved himself by sitting down. Thereafter, Harkomal Singh gave two blows with butt of the pistol, one of which hit the complainant on the side of the head and another on the chest. Some of the witnesses have already been recorded by the Trial Court. The case itself is for commission of offence under Section 307 IPC. No ground for quashing is made out. The petition is dismissed.
