NARANJAN SINGH vs KULDIP SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's finding that accused Kuldip Singh was not present during the assault on the deceased, thus negating any possibility of his involvement or exceeding the right of private defense. The Court emphasized that the Trial Court's belief in Kuldip Singh's presence was not supported by evidence, leading to the dismissal of the appeal. The judgment reinforces the principle that absence from the scene of an incident precludes participation in the alleged crime.
