The Allahabad High Court has observed that mere transportation of cow and its progeny within Uttar Pradesh is not a violation of any of the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Cow Slaughter Act.
The Court, in a recent order, maintained that no permission was required to transport cows within the State.
The High Court was hearing a plea against an order by the Varanasi District Magistrate to confiscate the truck of Mohammad Shakib as the first information report (FIR) stated that the vehicle was ferrying cows for slaughter.
