The above submission would have merited consideration, to deny relief to the respondent, but our attention LPA No.1125 of 2009 has also been drawn by learned counsel for the State to the circumstances in which death of Davinder Singh, Constable took place, while trying to stop truck driven by a terrorist in a bid to apprehend the terrorist.
