Nagpur: The court in Amravati watched a high drama no less than it was in the upper class case for more than 58 camels confiscated by police in the district.
Animals were held more than two weeks ago.
The chain of events finally ended with anti-climax for herders who almost got the custody of the camel confiscated from them.
The camel was confiscated and their herders were arrested at suspicion that animals were brought to Hyderabad to be slaughtered.
After a strong battle in a lower court in Chandur Railway Town, the shepherds have custody in the camel.
This ownership is to conflict with more compensation bonds than Rs 50 Lakh divided between five shepherds.
The court also directs that camels must also be produced as and when directed.
Police should prepare detailed reports from camels using wild animals colored images.
Since seizures, camels are stored in Gokarkshan (cattle shelter) in Amravati.
Orders were passed on Tuesday night.
It was followed by a vacation on January 26.
Finally, when the shepherd reached Gorakshan, it took almost a day to get animals back.
At that night, rivals, NGOs were right, furnished.
The gate is closed and can remain in, said Manoj Kalla, a lawyer who represents the herders.
Stayed secured from the session court in the Amravati district, he said.
“When my client reached Gorakshan, there was an insistence that the camel had to be taken by the truck and did not walk.
The argument delayed the transfer all day,” Kalla said.
Claims for camels are difficult to fight in court with high profile personalities that are in demand.
BJP MP and animal rights activate Manka Gandhi have taken personal interest in this matter.
Shepherders from the Rabari community from Gujarat have support from leaders and activists from their country.
They took the camel on foot from Kutch to Amravati and further.
In addition to complainants, this case has two interveners – Earth Quotient, an NGO and Sujeet Kumar Chaudhary activist.
Their request in court is that camels must be taken to Rajasthan where they are ready to bear the costs.
The herders want animals to stay with them until the case continues.
Earlier this month, the police in Amravati confiscated 58 camels near the city of Dhamangaon based on complaints by Jasraj Rupchand, an animal activist from Hyderabad.
The accusation is that animals are taken to be slaughtered in Hyderabad.
Cases of cruelty of animals have been registered with shepherders who then secure a guarantee.
There is no law that prohibits the massacre of the camel in Maharasthra.
Immediately, CASE also intervened for others.
Even when Gandhi called the senior police investigating this problem, the application for intervention was submitted to take the camel to Rajasthan.
The shepherds insisted that they were taken to Rabari’s settlement in Vidarbha and Chattisgharh.
Even though from Kutch, there are Livig Rabaris in Central India since decades and using camels for transportation.
In a lower court, the second advice of herders and the Petitioners came with almost half a dozen laws of cases from 1998 to 2000 related to animal prisoners, including camels in similar cases.
Rabaris lawyers emphasize that the lack of documents does not mean that animals are taken illegally.
They have papers in Gujarati which are not considered.
If the animals are taken to Hyderabad, the shepherds can leave Nanded which is a shorter route, not Amravati.
