Jahir Ali Gulamahmad Makrani vs Government of Gujarat Advocate - APP — 58/2026

Case Summary The Gujarat High Court dismissed a criminal revision petition filed by the accused/applicant seeking release of four cattle (cows/calves) seized during transportation from police custody. The court upheld the lower courts' decision to retain custody of the animals with a Panjarapole (animal shelter) instead of returning them to the accused, reasoning that the cattle were transported without proper legal compliance under animal welfare rules, creating a presumption they were being taken for slaughter, and the animals' welfare and protection against cruelty takes precedence.
