 The Haryana Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan Act, 2015:
Section 4 (1) (c) of the said Act, allowed cow slaughtering, subjected to experimentation in the interest of medical, veterinary and
public health research, whereas experimentation on animals, like rat, mice and gunny pigs are prohibited, likewise cosmetics tested on
animals, also not allowed to import in India, hence cow progeny cant be spared for any experimentation.
Section 4 (3), removal of skin and hide from naturally dead cow are allowed, to the authorized contractor and with the permission,
same can be transported by them but what about beef tallow, horn and bones of naturally dead cows, said Act is silent, besides it
Municipal Corporation at Panipat allowed tallow ownership to the butchers?.
Section 8 of the said Act, allowed beef products, for medicinal purposes and in such form as may be prescribed, whereas neither beef
have medicinal qualities nor prescribed by any Authority, communication through CM window also proved that not a single permit was
granted as per the Haryana Prohibition on Cow Slaughter Rules, 1972.
Section 12 allowed establishments of laboratories for testing of milk, differentiation of beef from the meat of other species of animals
but how and why cow skin and hide, horn and bones be identified and certified that same be removed from naturally dead cow?
Section 16 doesnt allow, any common citizen, to perform their fundamental duties, as defined under article 51 A (g) of Indian
Constitution.
Section 17 (2)(4), provide two opportunities to the owner of vehicle, involved in crime against cow progeny, before order of confiscation
and then before sale of confiscated vehicle, why twice?
A). Section 19 (2)(a to d) allowed to make rules for cow slaughter, as defined under section 4, whereas experimentation on cows, seems
to be objectionable.
B). Section 19 (2)(f) allowed, to make rules for beef or beef product can be sold under section 8, whereas no need to frame any rules for
this purpose, as explained above.
C). Section 19 (2)(i) allowed to make rules for cow transportation, either by road, rail and on foot, whereas cow can be shifted in ISI
specified vehicles, as per their shape and size, after obtaining pre transport clearance about vehicles.
# Declare Cow as state animal of Haryana, without disturbing black buck, as it was done in Rajasthan, being camel and chinkara, as
their state animals. It would also be pertinent to mention here that the said legislation is silent on the punishments for the violation of
the rules made out under section 19, whereas animal can be slaughtered as per Slaughter House Rules, 2001.
Section 20 (1) repealed the Punjab Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 and (2) allowed anything done or any action
taken under repealed Act and rules, shall be deemed to have been done or taken under this Act, hence all under trials
case property, like vehicles involved needs to be confiscated. As per (3), Haryana Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Rules,
1972 are adopted as rules, till new rules to be framed under this Act, whereas this is totally contradictions in the legal
provisions and cow definition, because as per said rules:
2 (c) Medical purposes means the use of beef or beef products in the diet of patients or for medicines as may be notified
by the state Government, section 7, Slaughter of a cow, which is objected to experimentation in the interest of medical
and public health research, likewise section 8 allowed license to sell or transport beef and beef products for medicinal
purpose, on FORM F, whereas above 15 years of age Cow progeny can be slaughter after license.
As per section 10 of the Haryana Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Rules, 1972, feeding charges are fixed @ Rs. 20/-.
As per section 15, which defined an offenses under section 13 are the cognizable and non bailable in legal terms, hence all
rules, to be made under section 19 be non cognizable and bailable in legal terms, meaning hereby section 3, 4, 5 and 8 be
the cognizable and non bailable in legal terms, whereas animal have five liberties with right to live besides the
responsibilities of a custodians of animals, as per section 3 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. It would
also be pertinent to mention here that animal cant be treated as Goods, can be shifted as per their shape and size, 11th
amendment in the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 2015 needs immediate attention and abandoned cow progeny should be
rescued for further rehabilitation, introducing National policy.
