This petition has been pressed on the ground that similarly situated accused; namely Banarsi Dass and Salamat Masih have already been allowed the benefit of regular bail by this Court, vide orders dated 12.1.2010 and that the present Petitioner cannot be discriminated against. It has not been disputed by the State counsel that only one injury has been attributed to present Petitioner. He had given that injury with the help of knife on the back of the deceased. It is not the prosecution case that said blow was also fatal. Banarsi Dass accused has also been attributed injury which was not found on the vital part of the body.
