Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that certain co-accused have been granted bail in this case and thus, the petitioner also deserves the same concession. Learned State counsel (on the instructions from ASI Balbir Singh, who is present in court) has opposed the prayer for bail. He submits that recovery of dagger was effected from the petitioner, whose name figured during investigation. This apart, he submits that the case is yet to be committed to the Sessions Court for trial. As regards parity with the co-accused, learned counsel submits that they were granted the Crl. Misc. No. M-38175 of 2010 2 concession of bail under Section 167 (2) Cr.P.C. Heard. There are serious allegations against the petitioner about involvement in murder of Tarsem Lal on 2nd February, 2010 when he had come to leave the mother of the complainant in the village at about 7.00 P.M. in car bearing No.PB10CE-5985. At about 9.30 P.M., he was informed by his partner Mohan Singh that Tarsem Singh had been injured by a dagger and later taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Ludhiana. Recovery of dagger has been effected from the petitioner. Under the circumstances, no grounds for enlarging the petitioner on bail are made out. Dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 15.2.2011 'rajpal'
