Allahabad High Court Orders Compensation for Vehicle Seized Without Evidence in UP
The Allahabad High Court ruled that the Uttar Pradesh government must compensate Vinod Kumar Singh for the illegal seizure of his vehicle, which was confiscated under the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act without evidence of transporting cattle for slaughter outside the state. The court found no beef or animal remains in the vehicle and criticized the authorities for relying on assumptions rather than proof. The ruling emphasized the need for concrete evidence to justify confiscation under the law.
