The judgment of the Supreme Court of India records the following account. Replace closing sentence ' ' with the attributed police version: per FIR No.351 dated 13/10/2008 lodged by ASI (para 4), a Narnaul man, a wanted accused, fired at the Bawal police party which returned fire in self-defence; respondents' counsel maintained it was a genuine encounter (para 6). Also replace 'due to the lapse of more than four years' with the court's own words: fresh investigation 'at this distant point of time, will be an exercise in futility' (para 13).
