    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: 358/2022 Court Decision: The accused, Gulamnabi Gani Kureshi, has been acquitted of all charges under the Maharashtra Animal Protection Act, 2015 (Sections 5, 5(b), and 9) and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (Section 11(H)). Key Reasoning: Although the prosecution established that four bovine animals were seized from the accused's premises on July 11, 2022, without food and water, it failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that: (1) the premises belonged to the accused, (2) the animals were his property, or (3) he intentionally confined them for slaughter purposes. Critical evidence—including ownership documentation, seizure records establishing the location's ownership, and witness testimony confirming these facts—was absent from the case file, leaving material elements of the crime unproven.
