the animals under Section 3, Section 11, etc. are only statutory

freedoms guaranteed to the animals under Section 3, Section
11, have to be read along with Articles 51-A(g) and (h) of the
Constitution, which is the magna carta of animal rights. The

Section 482 in The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 [Entire Act]
Section 32 in The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals Act, 1960 [Entire Act]
