Reported in: 1993CriLJ213

K.T. Thomas, J.1. In spite of the fact that it was the deceased who struck the first blow, the question - who was the aggressor, deceased or the appellant - remains decisive in this appeal. If the deceased was the aggressor, then appellant had the right of private defence which could be extended even up to causing of deceased's death on the facts of this case and hence there is no question of exceeding that right. Thus the crucial question is whether appellant had right of private defence at all.2. The incident happened around 2.30 p.m. on 6-3-1987.

Deceased came out of the shop with a stick and beat the appellant on the head. It was then that appellant inflicted the fatal cuts on the deceased's head with the chopper.
