There is one more case assigned to the applicant in which he was in jail and bailable warrant was served in the instant case on 02.08.2025. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that, since no animal was slaughtered in the present case, no offence is made out against the applicant under the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955. It is submitted that, if at all any offence is disclosed, the same would fall only within the ambit of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. 6. The applicant is languishing in jail since 02.08.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
