Khursheed vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 8 of the Punjab Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, affirming the decisions of the lower courts. The Court noted that the maximum punishment for the offence is five years, and found no grounds to reduce the sentence of one year imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 5000. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the appellant's bail bonds were cancelled, requiring immediate custody to serve the sentence.
