28. In the impugned judgment, in para 238, two cases registered against Hasrat (A-6) in Mussoorie, UP way back in 2008 under the NDPS Act have been listed. As far as Asif (A-7) is concerned, there are two cases under the DACP Act: (i) FIR No.94/2010 at PS Kanjhawala; (ii) FIR No.151/2010 at PS Vijay Vihar. There are also two cases, i.e. FIR No.127/2010 and FIR No.149/2012, against A-7 for offences under Section 295-A IPC and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty against Animals Act. Thus, only against A-7 are there cases of a similar nature from 2010 to 2012. At the same time, it is important to note that the outcome of these cases is not yet known. All the other cases against Asif (A-7) pertained to relatively minor offences in UP and PS Nangloi, Delhi.

34. In the present case, the Court is not persuaded that the charges against the accused for entering into a criminal conspiracy to steal cattle and transport them for slaughter have been proved. For that matter, there is no evidence to show that there was any prior meeting of minds of the accused to fire upon the policemen or injure any of them. Therefore, the prosecution has failed to prove the guilt of the accused for the offences punishable under Section 120 B IPC and Section 5 DACP Act or the offences under Section 120 B read with the other substantive provisions with which they have been charged.
