2. Shorn of details the prosecution case is an under : (a) Ramphal (the deceased) used to sell vegetables from his shop-cum-residence in the Janta Colony, Rohtak city. On July 26, 1986 at or about 9 A.M. the appellant went to his shop and asked for some vegetables on credit. Ramphal told the appellant that as he had not paid his earlier dues he would not oblige him any more. Since such refusal of Ramphal was in the presence of two others, namely, Jagdish (P.W.10) and Satbir Singh (PW 11), the appellant felt insulted and left in a huff.

(b) About twenty minutes thereafter the appellant came back with a knife and remarked that he would teach him (Ramphal) a lesson for insulting him
