TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.34782 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 20th day of March, 2007. JUDGMENT The W.P. is filed for direction to investigate a case of cruelty to a cow. The petitioner has produced photographs which show violence and cruelty done to a cow. However, Government Pleader reported that even though crime was registered, it was later referred for want of evidence. If petitioner or the owner of the cow or anyone furnishes specific information about the person involved, I feel still respondents 2 and 3 should take action. The W.P. is closed leaving freedom to any person to furnish specific information to Police for fresh investigation and if any such useful information is furnished, fresh case will be registered.
