Section 11 PCA & KPSC Acts | Perishable Goods Seizure Cannot Be Indefinite Pending Investigation: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that seized animal skins, being perishable, must be partially released to licensed traders despite ongoing investigations under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act. The judgment balances investigative interests with the economic rights of traders, setting a precedent for handling time-sensitive goods seizures.
