Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Anticipatory bail — granted. The Patna High Court (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J.) allowed the anticipatory bail application of two petitioners apprehending arrest in Bikramganj P.S. Case No. 294 of 2020 (District Rohtas), registered for offences punishable under Sections 429, 153(A), 295(A) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 11 of the Animal Cruelty Act, 1960, and Sections 345 r/w 429 of the Bihar Municipal Act, 2007. The FIR alleged that the named accused, including the petitioners, ran a slaughter house without proper permission and unauthorisedly, dealing with cow flesh, and were responsible for transportation of cow meat. Counsel for the petitioners submitted that they were innocent, were mere labourers engaged in loading/unloading of goods, were falsely implicated on suspicion as residents of Quraishi Mohalla, and that a similarly situated co-accused (Kammu Quraishi) had already been granted anticipatory bail by the Court in Cr. Misc. No. 7029 of 2023; the learned A.P.P. opposed the application. Considering the facts and circumstances, the Court enlarged the petitioners on bail, in the event of arrest/surrender within eight weeks, on a bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate I, Bikramganj, Rohtas, subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48292 of 2025(3) dt.18-03-2026 2/3

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. Petitioners have got no concern with the illegal business of cow flesh and they are simply labours, engaged in loading/ unloading of goods in the vehicle. Petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case merely on the basis of suspicion as they are residents of Quraishi Mohalla, which is predominantly inhibited by Muslims. Similarly situated co-accused, namely, Kammu Quraishi has already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 12.05.2023 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 7029 of 2023.

Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposed the bail application.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this anticipatory bail is allowed and it is ordered that let the above named petitioners in the event of their arrest/surrender before the court below within a period of eight weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate I, Bikramganj, Rohtas in connection with Bikramganj P. S. Case No. 294 of 2020, subject to condition as
