Rajeev Kumar Shrivastava, J. - IA No.10218 of 2022, an application for taking the additional documents on record is concerned, is allowed and taken on record.

1. The present revision under Section 397 read with Section 401 CrPC has been filed by the revisionists challenging the impugned order dated 17- 05-2021 passed by Second Additional Sessions Judge, Sabalgarh, Morena (MP) in Case No.288 of 2016, whereby the application filed u/S. 319 of CrPC has been allowed and non-bailable warrant of arrest has been issued against the revisionists for securing their presence before the Court below.

2. Prosecution case, in short, is that on the alleged date of incident i.e. 29-03-2006 some altercation took place between complainant and accused party over the dispute regarding grazing of buffaloes and matter was solved by a mediation in the village concerned in the evening. At around 07:00 in the morning of next day, Ramdeen, Ramprakash, Munna and Ramniwas all were talking or discussing each other some matter in front of their house, at that time complainant side Veeru, Guddu, Jitendra, Ravi, Hakim reached there with deadly weapons like lathi and farsa. On the other side, Maharaj, Umesh, Ramlakhan Dhakad came there with 12 bore gun mouser and lathi respectively and abused and they all of them attacked wherein accused Ramlakhan Dhakad caused injury on Ramdeen by means of firearms on the right side of his head. Maharaj Singh also caused firearm on the right knee of Ramprakash and thereafter, Umed Singh also caused injury by means of mouser gun on the right side of head of Ramprakash but the same did not hit anybody. The incident regarding causing fires was made for 12-15 days as a result of which Ramdeen died and a report was lodged at police station vide Crime No.80 of 2006 for offences under Sections 302, 147, 148, 149, 307 of IPC. Similarly, another dehati nalishi was lodged regarding the incident took place on 29-03-2006 on the same date. It is alleged that from the side of revisionists, they reached on the spot by means of deadly weapons like lathi, mouser, farsa etc. causing injuries to the complainant side whereby Crime No.81 of 2006 has been registered against the revisionists for offences under Sections 302, 147, 148, 149, 307 of IPC. On account of that, after completion of investigation, the police filed the charge sheet and the learned Trial Court took cognizance against the revisionists for offence under Section 319 of CrPC and has issued arrest warrant against them for securing their presence before the Trial Court. Being aggrieved by the impugned order, the present revision has been filed.

3.

All the witnesses were in inimical terms and there is existence of previous enmity between the parties. The complainant party themselves have caused murder of Kamoda Bai and on the basis of evidence of all eyewitnesses and complainant party, no case is made out against revisionists. The trial Court has committed an error in taking cognizance against the revisionists. In support of contention, learned senior counsel for the revisionists has relied upon the judgment passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Y. Saraba Reedy vs. Puthur Rami Reddy and Ors. 2007(2) CAR (SC) 51 as well as order passed by this Court in the case of Birbal alias Pappu Dhakad vs. State of MP and Another, order dated 22/03/2022 passed in CRR 1042 of 2016 and the order of this Court passed in the case of Brajendra Singh vs. State of MP reported in 2021 Legal Eagle (MP) 239.
