Heard counsel for the applicant as well as Sri N.K. Sharma, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 2. This application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No.31 of 2023, under sections 3/5A/5B/8 of U.P. Cow Slaughter Act and Section 11 of Animal Cruelty Act, P.S. Chandauli, District Chandauli. 3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the first information report and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The name of the applicant was disclosed by the owner of the alleged vehicle namely, Indrawati Devi. The said statement, insofar as it implicates the applicant, is unreliable. False recovery of six live cows has been shown from the said vehicle. There is no independent witness to the alleged recovery. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. Investigation is pending and 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. 4. Learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Having regard to the submissions made, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that the name of the applicant was disclosed by the owner of the alleged vehicle namely, Indrawati Devi, there is no independent witness to the alleged recovery, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled for anticipatory bail till the submission of police report.
