K’taka HC Grants Anticipatory Bail To Man Accused Of Selling Beef At A Mutton Shop

The Karnataka High Court recently granted anticipatory bail to a man accused of selling beef at a mutton shop.

A single-judge Justice TG Shivashankare Gowda observed that the offences alleged against the petitioner were not punishable either with death or imprisonment for life.

The bench was hearing a plea from a man who was charged in a case under the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act after the main accused in the case told police that they had purchased beef from him.

Appearing for the petitioner, Hyder Ali, Advocate Tejas N informed the bench that he had a 60% disability and that no beef could be recovered from him. He stated that he was willing to comply with any conditions imposed for the grant of anticipatory bail.

On the other hand, High Court Government Pleader (HCGP) Rahul Rai claimed that the petitioner was selling beef from his mutton shop. As a result, he contended that the petitioner’s detention was required for a proper investigation.

The trial court had already arrested and released the main accused on bail, according to the single bench. As a result, it concluded that sufficient grounds for anticipatory bail were established.

Therefore, the Court granted anticipatory bail to the petitioner on the condition that he execute a personal bond for Rs 1,00,000 with one surety for the same amount, among other conditions.
