Balbir Singh and Rulia Singh were bursting crackers in the lane,

due to which an altercation happened for not bursting the

crackers, then Balbir Singh gave 'lathi' blow on the head of

Virendra Singh resulting into his death.

     Mr. Falgun Buch, counsel for appellant, submits that in the

totality of case the main allegation rests upon Balbir Singh.
