ORDER

The court found the accused, Babubhai Punjabhai Rathod, guilty under Section 66(1)B of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, and imposed a lenient sentence of ₹100 fine with time served, considering the voluntary confession and mitigating circumstances. The court applied the principle that "special and adequate reasons" must exist to impose less than the minimum statutory sentence, which was warranted here based on the accused's financial condition and remorse. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
