Overview
- Additional Sessions Judge Mujibodeen S Shaikh rejected Jagannath Kunjuprasad Rajbhar’s revision plea against the magistrate’s order.
- The court held that a criminal revision is not maintainable against an interlocutory interim-custody order.
- The horse remains at an Animal Welfare Board‑recognised facility arranged through PETA and Animal Rahat under a ₹2 lakh bond.
- Police seized the horse in south Mumbai last year following a PETA FIR under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, citing the 2015 High Court ban on Victoria carriages.
- The magistrate earlier noted Rajbhar had not produced a valid licence and found the business activity prima facie illegal despite his livelihood claims.
