State Of Punjab vs Mohinder Singh

The Punjab & Haryana High Court acquitted the respondent under Section 307 IPC, citing a four-day delay in FIR registration as critical. The court found no satisfactory explanation for the delay, noting that the injured Jagir Singh was hospitalized but no timely information was provided by Pal Singh or other relatives. The court concluded that the FIR was likely recorded after deliberation to implicate the accused, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the acquittal.
