04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. The petitioner has been living separately from the informant and there was no reason for the petitioner to go and throw acid on the informant. The petitioner is a labourer. There is dispute over custody of the child of the couple and in order to prevent the petitioner from taking the custody of the child, the informant has cooked up this story. Learned counsel further submits that the prosecution story is also not believable for the reason that it was not possible for any outsider to enter into the house of the informant in dead of the night and throw acid upon her. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is having clean antecedent and is in custody since 24.07.2025. Ccharge-sheet has been submitted.

05. Learned APP for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner.

06.
