After investigation police has filed a charge-sheet against Harchandi, Ranveer @ Guddu @ Baniya and Bhudev. During trial accused Harchandi has expired and proceedings were dropped against Harchandi. After framing the charge the prosecution has examined 10 witnesses and exhibited 28 documents. The accused were examined under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and in defence they have examined DW-1 Maya and DW-2 Nimo. Learned trial court after concluding the trial has convicted the appellant accused under Sections 323, 341, 325 and 307 IPC read with Section 34 IPC. The maximum sentence awarded to each of appellant is five years. 6. The appellants accused were on bail during trial. As per criminal antecedents one more case was registered against Ranveer @ Guddu @ Baniya and three more cases were registered against Bhudev.

We have considered the cross-examination of PW-1 Devendra, PW-2 Munendra and PW-3 Veervati. Also considered the injury reports and opinion of PW-9 Dr. Sanjay. The trial court has convicted both the appellants with aid of Section 34 IPC. 8.
