Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The name of the applicant was disclosed by the police informer.

There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. The applicant has no concern with the alleged recovery. During the course of investigation, the arrest of the applicant was stayed by this Court vide order dated 13.12.2018 passed in Criminal Misc.

Charge-sheet has been filed. The applicant had cooperated in the investigation. The applicant has been summoned by the concerned court. No custodial interrogation is required. The applicant came to know about the pending proceedings only in the month of June, 2025. Prior to the instant case, the applicant was found involved in Case Crime No. 209 of 2018 under Sections 3/5/8 of Cow Slaughter Act, Section 11 of Animal Cruelty Act Section 7 of Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, P.S. Shahganj, District Jaunpur. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. In case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he 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. Having regard to the submissions made, considering the nature of accusations and the fact that the name of the applicant was disclosed by the police informer, there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery, during the course of investigation, the arrest of the applicant was stayed by this Court, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, charge-sheet has been filed, the applicant had cooperated in the investigation and no custodial interrogation is required, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 7.
