The state government on Saturday in its affidavit before the Bombay high court, provided the information that over 300 persons have been prosecuted under Maharashtra's newbeef ban law ever since March 2015, as reported by an English daily.

The division bench consisting of Justices Abhay Oka and S C Gupte, was made aware about the conditions in the state right from when the law was brought into force to October, wherein 155 cases were lodged under the Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act. While Amravati topped the list with 54 cases, Mumbai only registered two FIRs.

The cases registered were related to the sale or transport of bulls, bullock for slaughter as well as for possession of meat of a cow, bull or bullock. These charges are punishable with imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of Rs 10,000 and a jail term of one year and a fine of upto Rs 2,000 respectively.

The High Court while hearing the petition, primarily focussed on section 5D, which criminalises possession of beef.

While the petition filed by citizens of Mumbai stated that court needs to protect their rights, as they belong to "cultural minority", who consume beef. Advocate general S G Aney and advocate Hiten Venegavkar, representing the state, said that, "India is a vast country and people have different cuisine as part of their daily food. Eating a particular food does not entitle the constitution of a minority... The state's objective is not to impose a vegetarian regime."

The next hearing of this case has been scheduled for December 9.

More people jailed in Maharashtra for violating Beef ban than for killing muslims.

Most of the beef traders are Hindus . I am pretty sure majority of convicted would be hindus . That being said it is a stupid law and should be revoked . It's 21st century and people should be free to eat whatever they want to .

A sad and tragic thing Modi sarkar taking away the basic rights of the civilian to live eve the Cows are more sacred then human even Hindu women, rabid extremists roaming and patrolling streets to protect Cow while women being raped in buses, What a new low for human rights no body pointing out finger at it but few sane minded people protesting against it and being labelled as traitors.

You guys should be the last ones commenting on our shortcomings.... last I heard the Hindutva terrorists (who are BTW more in number in US/UK than Pakistanis) never even committed 1 teroorists attck while in the name of your religion, Pakistanis/ Arabs go on killing sprees with their wives in USA, New York or shooting in Paris .... not to ,mention killing your fellow people in Syria/ Iraq/ Pakistan in daily bombings......

1 man killed in India it is a world shattering event.... but perhaps Islamic terrorists kill 1 man every 1 minute in this world...


As far as beef is concerned, try eating pork in Saudi or for that matter any Muslim majority country and see what happens

Good, laws should be enforced, the possession part is not needed though.

Eating pork in any Muslim country not banned for non-Muslims, correct your facts, some non-Muslims Bedouin eats harram in their villages no one prosecuted.

No matter whether laws existing or not, such stupid laws cannot be enforced when beef eating communities will still find ways to eat what they were eating for thousands of years. Virat Hindu wanting to kill Christians, Muslims for that can instead, do a Aatmahuti hearing that. When you(RSS) came to our houses checking what we eat, enforcing your blind Hindutva Holy cow agenda, to kill us in the name of cow or find any other reason, minorities are supposed to keep mum and embrace ourselves the second class citizenship that you(Sanghparivar ghulam) want to offer to us? You imagine India with it's 18-20 crore minorities not alone Muslims, but Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Ahmedis, Bahayis all should submit to a fascist agenda? Not going to happen. Either it is emergency or a civil war that is waiting. RSS camp surely knows the repercussions.

See... I will tell you frankly. Remember the Cartoon fiasco? And the recent blasphemy thing going on in Pakistan?

You people rightly expect non-muslims to respect Islam and its beliefs. I 100% support that.

Now if Hindus have Cow as a holy animal where (not all but majority) worship it as a religious symbol, why can't non-Hindus respect that? You will agree respect is a two way street, right? Anyways... eating beef is not mandatory in Koran. People can live eating chicken, goat, fish or buffaloes.

Many Muslims thinks they are in state of war with the west and Jews + their allies successfully cashing this fact and putting every thing against Muslims, no one care who is behind the attacks the just found passports and direct blaming Muslims. I accept few of us rabid but the scale you people are propagating is false and lies tell me how many Muslims being killed because of you people (non-Muslims) just for oil and resources. So shut your mouth and stop crying victim, actually you people are aggressors and conspirators.

We are not disrespecting Cow but allow Muslims to eat beef at their homes.

See every religion has its nutjobs.... but why most often than not, muslims get radicalised? Except for 6-7 Muslim countries,, almost 90% of them are in a state of civil war or rebellion or some other proxy wars. On top of that, even Christian countries are facing Islamic terrorism (Europe, russia, Australia). Why don't jews go on killing spree in Germany after what Hitler did to them? Or Hindus bo,mbing UK because of colonial rule?

Problem is the educated and secular Muslims are mostly silent. Silence is a part of crime. How many processions or protests have ypou seen against ISIS or Paris bombing or 9/11 in the Muslim world? Compare that to the anti-Danoish protests (cartoon fiasco) or Palestinian war, etc etc.

BTW... its not us Hindus who are only saying this.... Look around.... from USA to UK to France/ Belgium (already banned Burkha) to even your best friend China (Xinxiang and issue with Turks). Almost 90 % of the world is affected by Islamic terrorism.

RSS/ Hindutvadi or wahtever crap Paksitanis say whole day long in PDF is probably 0.000001% of what Muslims are doing in Iraq, Syria, kashmir, Sydney, Pakistan.... Boko Haram, Isis........ List is endless
