(ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 147 dated 25.08.2009 under Sections 302, 506, 109, 201, 34 & 120-B IPC and Sections 25, 54, 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station B Division Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is entitled to bail on parity with accused Hari Singh @ Mithu who was enlarged on bail by this court vide order, Annexure P-3. Heard. A perusal of the order, Annexure P-3 shows that Hari Singh @ Mithu was granted bail on the ground that no specific role was attributed to him except a lalkara. In the instant case, however, there are specific allegation that petitioner (Balwinder Singh @ Rangeela) fired shot from his pistol resulting in death of Satwant Singh. Criminal Misc. No. M-1741 of 2011 2 In view of seriousness of allegations and magnitude of crime, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail. Accordingly, the present petition for regular bail is devoid of merit and the same is hereby dismissed. February 07, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
