PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court has refused to quash a criminal case against two government and madrassa teachers, allegedly from whose possession cow meat (beef) and 16 live cattle were recovered.
Dismissing the petition filed by one Parvez Ahmed and three others, Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal observed, “In the present case, the applicants had tried to set up defence by bringing on record the report of the forensic science laboratory (FSL), but the first information report (FIR) not only discloses the recovery of cow meat but also 16 live cattle stocks along with other incriminating material. The defence so raised by the applicants will be considered by the trial court and such defence set up in the present application cannot be considered by this court at this stage of quashing of the charge sheet.”
