locality of Ghumiars (potters). When Pritpal Singh returned at about 8 p.m., near the house of Jupa Ghumiar, in the locality of Ghumiars, he saw Chhaju Singh lying on a cot in the street, in front of the houses of the Ghumiars and was being inflicted injuries by Marra Singh and Ram Sarup, accused. Marra Singh was armed with dang and Ram Sarup was armed with Takua. Ram Sarup placed the dang portion of the Takua on the throat of Chhaju Singh, which was pressed by both the accused. Pritpal Singh raised the alarm “namaro-na-mora”, on which both the accused ran away from there with their respective weapons. He tried to save Chhaju Singh, but he had already died. Since he did not know anybody in the village, he could not inform the matter to the residents of village Chathe Nenhera itself. After calling Jupa Ghumiar and two women from these families to safeguard the dead body, he reached village Mehlan on foot through the fields and told the entire story to his father Jarnail Singh and Sarwan Singh, elder brother of his father. He came to the police station with both of them. On said information given at 8.45 a.m., FIR Exhibit PE/1 was recorded. The special report was delivered to the learned Magistrate at 10.30 a.m. After the recording of the FIR, the inquest report Exhibit PC was prepared and the dead body sent for post mortem examination.
