Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under section 302 IPC vide FIR No. 173 dated 24.11.2009 at police station Raikot District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that two prosecution witnesses had not supported the prosecution case. He submits that petitioner is in custody since 25.11.2009 and thus he is entitled to concession of bail. Heard. Allegation against the petitioner is that on 24.11.2009 in the area of Village Chak Bhai Ka, he committed murder of Sukhminder Singh. He hit Sukhminder Singh on head with an iron pipe due to which he fell down. Due to head injury suffered in the occurrence, Sukhminder Singh later died. The motive of crime is stated to be that petitioner was forcing his Criminal Misc. No. M-16981 of 2011 2 brother-Joginder Singh to transfer his share of land in his favour. During investigation the investigating agency found sufficient evidence to prosecute the petitioner. In view of nature of allegations and magnitude of crime, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail. The petition is thus devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. 30.05.2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) AJAY JUDGE
