STATEMENTS OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Act 35 of 1964.—The laws regulating preservation of animals in force in the State of Mysore are, the Mysore Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1948, in force in the Mysore Area, and the Bombay Animal Preservation Act, 1954, in force in the Bombay Area. Under section 2 of the Mysore Act, “cow” is defined to include bull, bullock, buffalo, and calf, and section 3 of the Act imposes a ban on the slaughter of cows except when certified by a qualified veterinarian to be affected with rabis. In view of the decision of the Supreme Court in “Mohammed Hanif Quareshi vs. the State of Bihar” and of the decision of the Mysore High Court in “Quareshi anothers vs. the State of Mysore”, it is considered necessary to have a uniform law for the whole State in conformity with those
decisions. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary), Part IV-2A dated 20th November 1963 as No. 144 at page. 9.) [KARNATAKA] ACT No. 35 OF 1964
