Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of the appellant's application for the release of his vehicle seized for transporting buffalo calves, citing Section 6B(3) of the Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act, 2011, which mandates that such vehicles cannot be released before six months from the date of seizure. The Court affirmed that the lower courts were justified in their decisions based on the provisions of the amended Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
