Assault Indian Penal Code, Section 351 Learned counsel for the accused persons submitted that contrary to the evidence of PWs 3 and 5 there was only one injury found by the doctor. PWs 3 and 5 have stated about assault and if five persons were really assaulting the result would not have only one injury. The definition of "assault" as given in Section 351 IPC makes the plea unacceptable. (Chanakya Dhibar v. State of W.B., (2004) 12 SCC 398 (407).
