- (1.) Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor.
(2.) This bail application has been filed under Section 439, Cr. P. C. Mr. Sanjay Mehrishi, learned Counsel for the petitioners contended that the accused petitioners were arrested on 29-12-2009 and trial of the case will take time. The Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application. The Public Prosecutor contended that the allegations against the petitioners are that they gave beating to cow on account of which cow found dead, which is an offence punishable under the Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration of Export) Act, 1995.
(3.) Before proceeding in the matter it would be necessary to have a look about the importance of cows in Srimad Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna states in Srimad Bhagavad-Gita: Chapter 10, verse 28: "dhenunam asmi kamadhuk dhenunam-among cows, asmi-I am, kamadhuk-the wish fulfilling cow Among cows I am the wish fulfilling cow." In the verse Lord Krishna reveals that among cows He is manifested as the kamadhuk meaning kamadhenu the original wish fulfilling cows known as the surabhi cows. Just who and what are the surabhi cows and how the surabhi cows attained such an elevated and exalted position that they are able to represent a portion of the energy of the Supreme Lord Krishna will be revealed in the following information given in the Anusasana Prava of the Mahabharata by Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa: The surabhi cow descended from the spiritual worlds and manifested herself in the heavenly spheres from the aroma of celestial nectar for the benefit of all created beings. The direct descendants of the surabhi cows are the sacred cows from the continent India which are uniquely distinguished the same as the surabhi by the beautiful hump on their backs and the wonderfully soft folds of skin under their necks. Since all cows in existence in the world today are factual descendants of the sacred cows of India they are all holy as well and should always be lovingly cared for and protected with the highest esteem and greatest respect. One should never cause harm to cows in any way even in a dream and one should never ever even think of eating the flesh of cows as there is no action more sinful in all of creation then cow killing.;
