Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there is land dispute between the parties and that informant has not seen anything. She has concocted a story. Petitioner is having no criminal antecedent. Moreover, he is languishing in judicial custody since 04.09.2025. 5. Learned APP appearing for the state has opposed the prayer of regular bail and has submitted that from perusal of the FIR itself it is clear that the informant has seen the petitioner mixing something in the bowl in which the food was being prepared and the petitioner has not allowed his daughter to consume the food which was being prepared. This goes to show that the petitioner has mixed poison.
During course of investigation, the postmortem of deceased persons was conducted and viscera was preserved and from perusal of the viscera report, it is clear that on chemical and TLC examination chlorpyriphos was detected in the contents of exhibit G1 and organo-phosphorous pesticide was detected in the contents of exhibit G2. Organo- phosphorous pesticides are used for killing agricultural pests. It is poisonous in nature. The FSL report also goes to show that the viscera contained poison. The FIR is also regarding the poisoning of the food. 6. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of allegation, this court is not inclined to
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83143 of 2025(5) dt.12-05-2026 3/3 enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage and, as such, his prayer for bail stands rejected. 7. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after six months if the trial is not concluded. 8. Learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. lata/- (Ashok Kumar Pandey, J) U T
