The bail application of the Applicants has been vehemently opposed by the learned State Counsel. 8. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the Applicants have made out a case for bail. 9. Accordingly, bail application is allowed. It is directed that the Applicants, who have been accused in FIR/Case Crime No.131 of 2026, under Sections 3, 5 read with Section 11 of the Uttarakhand Protection of Cow Progeny Act, at Police Station Kotwali Ranipur, District Haridwar, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond with two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned court.
