Crl.M.No.M-24184 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-24184 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 23, 2010 Jamalu .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Salim Ahmed, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.455, dated 24.11.2009, under Sections 4A/8, 2/80 of Punjab Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955, read with Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, registered at Police Station Nuh, District Mewat. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that on secret information, a raid was conducted and it was found that cows for the purpose of slaughtering were being transported in a vehicle and, however, on seeing the police party, the petitioner-accused alongwith other accused succeeded in running. Name of petitioner-accused has been mentioned in the FIR. The secret informer also identified the petitioner-accused alongwith the other accused. It was found that in a three-wheeler, six thin and weak cows, whose mouth and feet were tied, were being transported. Hence, in view of these facts, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner- accused. Rather his custodial interrogation is necessary for proper investigation of the case. On the similar facts, anticipatory bail application of co-accused Fateh Mohd. was dismissed by this Court in Crl.M.No.M-12341 of 2010. Crl.M.No.M-24184 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Jamalu for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 23.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
