Heard counsel for the applicant and Sri V.P. Tripathi, learned A.G.A. for the State. Perused the material placed on record.

¶8

This application has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No. 06 of 2025, under Sections 3/5A/8 of Cow Slaughter Act and Section 11 of Animal Cruelty Act, Police Station -Narahi, District -Ballia.

¶9

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the first information report and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The name of the applicant was disclosed by the owner of the alleged vehicle. The said statement, insofar as it implicates the applicant, is unreliable. False recovery of six live bulls has been shown from the alleged vehicle. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. Investigation is pending. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. In case the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he will not misuse the said liberty.
