The genesis ofthe above-noted FIR was a quarrel on 5'^ August,2017 at about 10 PM between Dalvinder @ Pappe and Niranjan Sehrawat in presence of Gagan Sehrawat when Niranjan first slapped Dalvinder @
Pappe who in turn slapped Niranjan. It is the case ofDalvinder that after
1.00 AM mid-night when he wentto sleep at about 1.45 AM Niranjan along with his nephew Deepak Sehrawat and other persons entered in his house and started beating him,his brothers Jaivinder,Parvinder and cousin brother
Lalit & Ashish. The doctor opined 'simple' on the MLCs of Dalvinder, Parvinder,Jaivinder and Lalit whereas'GrievousBlunt'to Ashish. On the said complaintFIR No.292/2017 was registered.
However, in the process Niranjan and Deepak Sehrawat were also injured. Niranjan was firsttaken to the Trauma Centre,AIIMS and Deepak

On being declared fitstatement ofDeepak Sehrawat was recorded on
7^'' August,2017 who stated thaton intervening nightof5-6 August,2017 at about 1.00 AM inthe nighthis uncle Niranjantelephonically informedthata quarrel had taken place with Dalvinder @ Pappe. On reaching near
Dalvinder@Pappe's house in his Duster car he methis uncle Niranjan and his friend Lalit. His uncle had sustained injuries on his head. They went inside the door and touched the feet ofPappe's father and started talking to him. Inthe meantime brother ofPappe started misbehaving withthem and a scuffle took place between his uncle and brother ofPappe. The other side including the females started beating him and his uncle. It is alleged that wife ofPappe hit him on his head. Hefell down and they keptbeating him and his uncle saying'today thestory is goingto end\
From the statementofDeepak Sehrawatalso itis evidentthatafterthe quarrel between the Dalvinder and Niranjan took place at 10PM wherein both slapped each other,Niranjan called Deepak Sehrawat where afterthey entered the house ofthe petitioners. As noted above, injuries have been received on both the sides. The place ofincident being inside the house of
Dalvinder and time being mid-night is not disputed by either side.
Undoubtedly, injuries caused to the Niranjan and Deepak Sehrawat are serious in nature, however the fact remains that it was Niranjan, Deepak
Sehrawat and Lalit who entered the house ofthe petitioners where after a scuffle took place and both sides received injuries. There are three cases already registered against Deepak Sehrawat, which shows the reason
Niranjan callingDeepakto assisthim.
