the court said.<\/p>\n<p>A trial court had on January 4 convicted Bajrang for transporting 99 animals in one truck. The animals were found to be kept in a painful condition in a cramped manner in the truck which was not meant to be used for transporting animals.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had convicted him and confiscated his animals.<\/p>\n<p>He approached the sessions court after his revision petition was dismissed by the trial court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delhi court has expressed displeasure over animals being subjected to cruelty during transportation and then released to their violators as a &#8220;matter of convenience&#8221;.
