Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner is in custody w.e.f. 3.3.2011. As per the prosecution story, petitioner was not found slaughtering a cow, hence, there is no offence under Section 3/8 of the Cow Slaughter (hereinafter referred to as the Act). Learned counsel has further argued that petitioner was not found selling the beef, hence, there is no offence under Section 5/8 of the Act. To constitute an offence under Section 3 to 5 read with Section 8 of the Act either slaughtering or selling the beef is sine qua non. He has further argued that no chemical examination was got done to find out as to whether meat is of the beef. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct that petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court. (Alok Singh) Judge May 16, 2011 R.S.
