| Court rejects bail in bovine smuggling case | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 7: CJM Jammu Amarjeet Singh Langeh has rejected the bail application of one Mustaq Choudhary who was arrested by the police in a case of Bovine Smuggling on fake documents.
As per police report on 30-1-2022 a docket was received by respondent police station alleging therein that during Nakka checking by police personnel at 0030 hrs at Ban Tol Plaza, a vehicle (Tata Mobile) bearing registration no. JK02AX-6629 which was going from Jammu to Srinagar was stopped for checking. During checking vehicle was found loaded with four bovine animals and when petitioner, who was driving vehicle in question was asked to produced permission if any regarding transportation of bovine animals, petitioner in turn produced a permission purported to have been issued by District Magistrate, Jammu under dispatch no. DMJ/Misc/21-22/4637 dated 29-1-2022.
It was further alleged that the permission was found to have been already issued in favour of another vehicle bearing registration no. JK02CR-6093 on 28-1-2022 and the vehicle was permitted to cross the Toll Plaza on the strength of said permission. It is also outlined in the police report that a copy of permission is always retained in the Nakka as a routine practice and when permission allegedly produced by petitioner was compared with the permission in respect of vehicle bearing registration no. JK02CR6093 dated 28.01.2022, one produced by petitioner was found to be fake and forged intended to defraud police personnel in order to transport bovine animals on the strength of fake documents. Based on this docket an FIR no. 35/2022 for offences under-sections 188/420/467/468/471/34 of IPC & Section 11 PCA Act was registered and investigation started.
The CJM Jammu observed that the manner in which fake permission for transportation of bovine animals is alleged to have been produced before police as aforesaid and resources that might have been utilized in procuring fake stamps of Additional District Magistrate, Jammu, Chief Animal Husbandry Officer, Jammu, Mobile Officer, Jammu only describes the level of impunity with which offences in question have prima facie been committed by petitioner. With these observations the court rejected the bail application. |
