Proceedings of this matter have been taken through video conferencing. 2. The applicant has preferred the second anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of Anticipatory Bail, apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.231/2024, registered at Police Station – Bagicha, District –Jashpur (C.G.) for the alleged 2 commission of offence punishable under Sections 4, 5 & 10 of Agricultural Animal Testing Act, 2004. 3. The prosecution story in brief is that on 06.12.2024 the complainant Baliram lodged report at Police Station, Bagicha, alleging therein that on 05.12.2024 at about 9.00 morning, while he was going Samarbar by passing jungle, at that time, he saw that the accused persons were killing his two years old cow with the help of knife and after seeing the said incident, the complainant raised alarm and the accused fled towards jungle side. Based upon the said complaint, the offence U/s 4, 6 & 10 of Chhattisgarh Krishak Pashu Parirakshan Adhiniyam have been registered against the applicants/accused. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that he has no criminal antecedents and on the similar allegation, the regular bail application of the co-accused persons bearing MCRC No. 2239 of 2025 has been allowed by this Hon’ble Court by order dated 20.03.2025. He further submits that the applicant is the bread earning members of his family, Therefore, he prays for grant of second anticipatory bail to the applicant. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the prayer for grant of second anticipatory bail and submits that the applicant with an intention of eating, killed a calf on 05.12.2024 using an 3 axe (tangi), therefore, the second anticipatory bail application of the applicant deserves to be rejected 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the nature and gravity of the offence and also considering the fact that in the present second anticipatory bail application no new ground has been raised and further looking to the seriousness of the allegations against the present applicant, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 8. Accordingly, the second anticipatory bail application of the applicant – Mahindra Kindo , involved in Crime No. 231/2024, registered at Police Station – Bagicha, District – Jashpur (C.G.) for the alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 4, 5 & 10 of Agricultural Animal Testing Act, 2004, is rejected.
