A.P.P. for the State.

¶13

In the present case, the petitioner seeks bail in connection with Amdabad P.S. Case No. 115 of 2025 dated 07.05.2025, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109, 124(1), 352, 351(2), 351(3), 76, 303(2), 329(4) and 308(2) read with Section 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023.

caught hold of the hands and legs of the husband of the informant and co-accused Bhola Singh administered him acid.

¶17

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. The occurrence is stated to have taken place on 01.01.2025 and 16.01.2025, but the FIR has been instituted on 07.05.2025 without any plausible explanation of the delay. It creates a serious doubt over the prosecution case. The true fact of the case is that the husband of the informant himself consumed acid and he stated this fact before the doctor and other witnesses. As a matter of fact, the husband of the informant assaulted this petitioner by iron-rod, who received serious injury and a petition was filed before Gram Kachahari, Diyara, Amdabad and panchayat decided and put up a penalty of Rs. 2,500/- against husband of the informant, who refused to pay the same and came back to his house and consumed acid. Police after investigation submitted chargesheet against the petitioner, who is in custody since 09.05.2025. Learned counsel lastly submits that petitioner is having clean antecedent.

¶18

Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposes the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner.

¶19

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the
