It is further submitted on behalf of applicant that there is no evidence to support the allegation that the cattle were being transported for slaughter and false recovery of cattle have been made against the applicant. In these circumstances, the applicant is entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
