1. SHAFIUR RAHMAN, J.- The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the order of the Lahore High Court dated 21-12-1.982 whereby bail was refused to him in a case registered at Police Station Bhalwal, district Sargodha vide F.I. R. No. 182 dated 26-7-1981.
2. The petitioner alongwith nine others was charged for offences under section 302/307/148/149, P. P.
3. C. He was allegedly armed with 12 bore gun and had fired with it. During the investigation of the case another version of the prosecution case appeared for which an approver also appeared on the scene against the petitioner.
4. The main ground on which the learned counsel for the petitioner pressed bail for the petitioner was that there were two versions of the prosecution case itself and in the two versions materially different roles were attributed to the petitioner making it a case of further inquiry. The High Court repelled this ground by holding that in both the versions the petitioner has been attributed the main role and an unlicensed gun had also been recovered from him. It was further held to be not a fit case for bail.
5. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner we find the motive for the crime has been consistently attributed to the petitioner in both the versions. He played a material role, according to the evidence as it stands today. The recovery of an unlicensed gun has been attributed him. At this stage, therefore, the petitioner could reasonably be denied the benefit of bail and in ordering so the High Court has not committed an such error of law as may require interference by this Court. Leave to appeal is, therefore, refused.
