Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that Rohit Kumar Ravi died by slipping from the staircase while he was going inside the room and only because the wife of the petitioner objected to visit of Rohit Kumar Ravi to the room of their tenant namely Babita, hence, suspicion has been raised that the petitioner might have committed death of Rohit Kumar Ravi; even though as per the version of the occurrence of the eye witnesses are to the contrary. It is submitted that charge sheet has been submitted as mentioned in paragraph 24 of bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as stated in paragraph 22 of the bail application. It is next submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witnesses of the case in any manner during trial of the case, hence, the petitioner may be admitted to regular bail.
