He further contends that initially the cross version against the petitioner was registered under Sections 323/148/149 IPC and subsequently, offence under Section 307 IPC was also added. Counsel contends that the petitioner has been attributed only simple injury and the injury falling under Section 307 IPC has been attributed to Pardeep Kumar (non-applicant). Counsel for the petitioner further contends that in terms of the interim order dated January 8, 2007, the petitioner has joined the Crl.Misc.No.249-M of 2007 -2- investigation. This fact has not been disputed by the State counsel and he further on instructions from HC Surinder Singh states that the petitioner is no more required for further investigation.
