Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Dal Das's special leave petition on 20/07/2009. Dal Das had a boundary dispute with Tulsi Das and inflicted 15 injuries on him during an altercation. When uninvolved bystander Ratna Das intervened after hearing cries, he was assaulted six times and died. The Court rejected Dal Das's argument that he had a right of private defence regarding property, holding that the right of self-defence only applies to the person (Dal Das himself), not to third parties like the deceased who had nothing to do with the property dispute. Accordingly, the conviction under Section 302 IPC was upheld and the petition dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
