                                  3.        As per the prosecution case, the petitioner,

                   along with other co-accused persons, allegedly poisoned the

                                  5.        Learned counsel for the petitioner submits

                   that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any

                      have been examined.

                                      6.      Learned A.P.P. has vehemently opposed the

                      prayer for bail.

                      allegation against him and also the period of custody of the

                                      9.      It is made clear that any observation made

                      herein is prima facie in nature and is confined solely to the

                      adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations

                      shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case

                      and shall not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any

                      manner.

                                                                 (Sandeep Kumar, J)
