Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, Police Station- Naugarh, District- Chandauli. 4. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants were not named in the first information report and have been falsely implicated in the present case. The name of the applicants were disclosed by co-accused, Khichdu Yadav and Ashu in Police custody. The said statements insofar as they implicate the applicants are unreliable. The alleged livestock were recovered from the possession of the co- accused, Khichdu Yadav and Ashu. The applicants have no concern with the alleged recovery. The criminal history of the applicants have been explained in para nos. 12 and 13 of bail application. The investigation is still pending. It is next submitted that the applicants have apprehension of their arrest and in case, the applicants are released on anticipatory bail, they will not misuse the said liberty. 5. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Counsel for the applicants further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 7. Having regard to the submissions made by counsel for the applicants, considering the nature of accusations and the fact that the applicants were not named in the first information report, the fact that the name of the applicants were disclosed by co-accused, Khichdu Yadav and Ashu in Police custody, the fact that the alleged livestock were recovered from the possession of the co-accused, Khichdu Yadav and Ashu, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicants, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 8. In the event of arrest, the applicants- Shambhu Yadav and Sarahangi @ Maisy Yadav be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 193 (3) B.N.S.S., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicants shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if they have passport, the same shall be deposited by them before the Police Commissioner concerned. 9.
