Arvind Paswan @ Teni Vs State of U.P.

The instant application has been filed seeking release of the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 23 of 2026, under Sections 3/5/8 Uttar Pradesh Cow Slaughter Act, 1955, Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, Police Station Bhatparrani, District Deoria, during the pendency of trial.

¶10

It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that applicant was neither arrested on the spot nor any recovery of cow was made from his possession. There is criminal history of one case being, Case Crime No. 183 of 2017, Police Station Rampur Karkhana, District Deoria. In the aforesaid case, he has already been released on bail, but bail order has not been annexed and in this regard, he has produced photo copy of questionnaire dated 23.04.2026 before this Court, is on record. There is no prospect of trial of the present case being concluded in near future due to heavy dockets. The applicant is not a previous convict. The applicant is languishing in jail since 06.02.2026 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶11

Per contra, learned AGA, however, opposed the prayer for bail.

¶14

As far as the merit of the present case is concerned, applicant was not arrested at spot and no recovery was made from his possession and it appears that on the basis of statements of co-accused, who were arrested at spot, he was made accused in the present matter.

¶15

Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, in my view applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

¶16

Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed.

¶17
