Dear Concerned,

This seems to be a matter of IPC 325, 327 and charge sheet will be filed as common for all , however roles may be defined clearly in the Charge sheet.

In case you have any documentation proving this to be a false case you may approach high court for quashing of this FIR and may try to delay the trial upto 6 months

Best of Luck

Yes a single chargesheet will be filled attributing different roles to different person in that offence.

Beating comes under offence of hurt and grevious hurt depending upon the gravity of the offence.

2. If permanent desirability then grevious hurt under section 320 325 ipc charges shall be there.

One charge sheet would be filed for all the accused

2) section 352 of IPC

Whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any person otherwise than on grave and sudden provocation given by that person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred, or with both.

Explanation: - Grave and sudden provocation will not mitigate the punishment for an offence under this section, if the provocation is sought or voluntarily provoked by the offender as an excuse for the offence, or

If the provocation is given by anything done in obedience to the law, or by a public servant, in the lawful exercise of the powers of such public servant, or

If the provocation is given by anything done in the lawful exercise of the right of private defence.

Whether the provocation was grave and sudden enough to mitigate the offence, is a question of fact.

Sir

from the reading of your question it is understood that, an incident was alleged to have happened where a person was assaulted by four person which resulted in causing hurt to a person in the dispute relating to landed property.

any use of weapon is not mentioned as such it is presumed that no weapon is used in causing hurt.

in this regard only one charge sheet will be filed by the police against all the accused and they may be independently and/or jointly charged under various IPC sections basing on the allegations in the FIR and the conclusions in the charge-sheet;

the probable IPC sections would be as follows:

section 323 for voluntarily causing hurt

section 327 if it is found that that act committed is for voluntarily causing hurt to extort property;

section 34 if the hurt is caused in furtherance of the common intention of all;

section 109 if any one of the four abets another for committing the offence;

section 120-B if there is criminal conspiracy among the four persons;

place of offence is not mentioned...if the above offence is committed by forcibly entering into the land,

section 447 will also be applicable;

1. Yes, if the case is one and then the charge sheet would also be single one containing names of all accused persons who are named in the FIR or added subsequently in due course of investigation.

2. You can refer the sections in the FIR. For mere hurt the section are 323 and 326. If there are other allegations then section would be different as per allegations.

There will be one charge sheet for same cause of action. Police will go through the MLC report verified by the Hospital. As the FIR is already registered you can ask for copy of FIR. There can be any section like 323-326 in the present FIR.
