Cow Slaughter Act, and Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, Police Station Sayyadraja, District Chandauli. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case crime number. He submits that the applicant is neither the Driver nor the Owner of the vehicle in question. He submits that the applicant was a passenger of the vehicle. The allegation of transporting 30 animals for slaughtering is false. There is no recovery of cow progeny or cow meat or any other incriminating article from the possession of the present applicant. The applicant is not involved in the business of purchase and sale of the animals. The Police has shown false recovery of the alleged animals from the possession of the applicant. There is no independent or public witness of the alleged incident. He further submits that the applicant is languishing in jail since 14.12.2024 and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. The applicant has no criminal history. Hence, bail has been prayed for. 4. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that nothing incriminating has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. 5. Considering all those facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima-facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7.
