Anyone who kills cow deemed to rot in hell; ban cow slaughter, declare cow as national animal: Allahabad High Court
The Court said that since we are in a secular country, we should respect all religions including Hinduism, and the cow is considered the most sacred of all the animals by Hindus.
The Allahabad High Court recently urged the Central government to ban cow slaughter in country and declare cow as "national protected animal",since cow is the representative of divine in Hinduism [Mohd. Abdul Khaliq v State].
