Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence. The applicant is not named in the FIR and his name has come up subsequently during investigation. Since no animal was slaughtered in the present case, no offence is made out under the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955. If at all any offence is disclosed, the same would fall only within the ambit of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. 5. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant that there is no previous criminal history of the applicant except one case instituted subsequent to the instant FIR. The applicant is languishing in jail since 2.3.2025 and is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. The bail application has been opposed but the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant could not be disputed. 7. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application.
