Rajasthan High Court Recommends Govt To Add Provision Of Appeal Against Confiscation Of Offending Vehicle By Collector Under Bovine

The Rajasthan High Court ruled on an appeal against an order under the Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act, 1995. The court considered whether the confiscation of bovine animals was justified under the Act. It held that the order of confiscation was excessive as the appellant had produced documents proving lawful possession of the animals. The court emphasized that confiscation should be proportionate to the violation committed and must adhere to principles of natural justice. This ruling highlights the importance of fair procedure and evidence in such cases under state-specific animal protection laws.
