(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the Petitioner has contended that it is a case of cross -version and the cross -version (Annexure P -1) has been recorded on the statement of Jarnail Singh. In the incident as narrated in the cross -version, it is stated by Jarnail Singh that on 13.01.2011, their neighbour Gurtej Singh (complainant in the FIR) and his brother -Mohinder Singh armed with sticks, Paramjit Singh i.e. the person who took the injured to the hospital; armed with gandasa and Harcharan Singh were seen coming towards their side. Harcharan Singh raised a lalkara and said that on the said day, Jarnail Singh should not be spared and he be caught hold of. Paramjit Singh, it is alleged, gave a gandasa blow towards the right side of the forehead of Jarnail Singh (complainant in the cross -version). When he (complainant in cross -version) fell on the ground, Gurtej Singh (complainant in the FIR) gave a dang blow held by him, which he hit on his (Jarnail Singh) right forearm. Mohinder Singh gave a danda blow which hit on his left forearm. Jarnail Singh and his father -Teja Singh raised a noise of ''na maro, na maro ''. On this, all the said persons fled away from the scene along with their respective weapons. In the fight, the assailants had also received injuries. Since Jarnail Singh (complainant in cross -version) received injuries, therefore, his father of namely Teja Singh got him admitted at City Hospital Talwandi Sabo, where the doctor gave him first -aid. They had a common wall and they had the dispute regarding its bricks. Because of the said reason, the accused in connivance with each other had inflicted injuries to Jarnail Singh (complainant in cross -version).
