It is stated in the application that the applicant­accused
is facing charges that he is involved in a crime of carrying and
possessing animals like cow and bull, which is prevented under the
said Act. The Police have seized pickup vehicle. It is further stated
in the application that applicant­accused has no connection with
the present crime and he has been falsely implicated in this crime.
He is possessing agricultural land and for that purpose cow and
bull are with him. He is ready to abide all conditions laid down by
this court, hence, prayed to release him on anticipatory bail.

The State opposed the bail application. Investigating
Officer has submitted his report and say stating that the police
have seized in all 12 cattles which were possessed by the
applicant­accused and were kept in his custody for the purpose of
selling them for illegal slaughtering and therefore, custodial
interrogation are required. Hence, opposed the bail application.
Investigating Officer is not present.

Heard, both parties. It appears from the record that
applicant­accused is agriculturist and possessing agricultural land
and alleged offence took place on 29.5.2022 and all the cattles were
seized by the police and kept in safe place. So far as custodial
interrogation of the applicant is concerned the same is not required
considering the nature of the offence and the fact of the present case.
The very purpose of interrogation can be served by putting necessary
conditions to attend the police station as and when required by the
I.O. Hence, I am inclined to allow the present anticipatory bail
application. Hence, following order
