As per the prosecution story, the informant submitted a written report before the S.H.O., Dulhin Bazar stating therein that on 14.09.2020 when he was coming to his house, all of sudden the petitioner started abusing him and when the informant protested then the petitioner threw acid upon the informant due to which he received severe injuries and was referred to P.M.C.H., Patna for treatment.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16366 of 2021(3) dt.23-09-2021 2/2 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner and informant are close-door neighbours and the petitioner has been implicated in this case due to previous enmity.

Learned APP for the State is present and has opposed the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case wherein the allegation against the petitioner is that of throwing acid and in the case diary it has come through the doctor that the informant received 30% burn injuries, the kind of allegations against the petitioner and the materials placed before this Court as also considering the minimum period prescribed in such cases, for the present this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail is, thus, refused. Let the trial be expedited.
