Not only this, while making strong remarks on cow slaughter, the court observed that it is not only the fundamental right of those who eat beef, but those who worship cow and are financially dependent on the cow also have a fundamental right. Along with this, the work of cow protection is not only of one religious sect, but the cow is the culture of India and the task of saving the culture belongs to every citizen living in the country, irrespective of religion, he said.

Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the High Court said that the government should bring a bill in the Parliament to give fundamental rights to the cow, declare it as the national animal and make strict laws to punish those who talk about harming it. The court said that not only did Hindus understand the importance of the cow, but even during the Muslim rule, the cow was considered an important part of India's culture. The court made the remark while refusing to grant bail to Javed, accused of an offense under the Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act in Uttar Pradesh. Vigilantes, sometimes explicitly supported by the party’s leaders, have attacked Muslims for allegedly killings cows or transporting them for slaughter.The Allahabad High Court has said that the cow is an integral part of India's culture and should be declared as the national animal. Since the BJP came to power at the Centre in 2014, there has been a sharp rise in cases of mob violence in the name of cow protection. The saffron party has passed laws against cow slaughter in several states. The subject of cow protection has frequently figured in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s campaigns ahead of elections. Yadav also asked the government to frame strict laws against those who speak about harming cows. “People take donations from the public and help from the government in the name of cow promotion, but spend it for their own interest and do not care of cows,” he claimed. The judge described private cow shelters as a sham. “The government also gets the gaushalas constructed, but the people who have to take care of the cow do not take care of the cows,” he said, according to Bar and Bench. The judge added that India will prosper only if cows are revered and criticised those in charge of cow shelters. “Fundamental right is not only the prerogative of beef eaters, rather, those who worship the cow and are financially dependent on cows, also have the right to lead a meaningful life.” “Right to eat beef can never be considered a fundamental right,” he said. Yadav said that the right to life took precedence over the right to kill. “Cow is the culture of India and the work of saving the culture is of every citizen living in the country irrespective of religion,” he added.

The judge also said that protecting cows is not the task of one specific religion, according to Bar and Bench. He had been charged under the Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act. Justice Shekhar Yadav made the observations while denying bail to a man accused of stealing and slaughtering a cow. The cow should be declared India’s national animal and its protection must be made a fundamental right of Hindus, the Allahabad High Court said on Wednesday, Live Law reported.
