Special Judge Hemani Malhotra asked Jasbir Singh and his son Gursimran Singh to pay Rs 21,000 each to their neighbour Surjeet Singh while acquitting Jasbir's another son, Davender for lack of evidence.
"Complainant and convicts are neighbours and the incident was not pre-mediated. Ends of justice would be met with if both convicts are sentenced to pay a fine of Rs 21,000... Both convicts are further sentenced to serve at Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib for 15 days.
The court was hearing an appeal of Surjeet against a trial court order acquitting the trio.
According to the complaint filed by Surjeet, on July 7, 2013, Jasbir came to his shop and had a verbal altercation with him. It was alleged that Jasbir called his sons Gursimran and Davender to the shop in Paharganj in central Delhi and assaulted him.
However, the court noted that it was Surjeet who called the police and rubbished the claim saying it was hard to believe that Surjeet could overpower strongly built Jasbir and Gursimran.
