The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in illegal sell and purchase of bovine flesh. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false.

It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused persons have already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 24.06.2026 in B.A. No. 5721 of 2026. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
