Cattle-Trespass Act, 1871
26. Penalty for damage cause to land or crops or public
roads by pigs
Any owner or keeper of
pigs who, through neglect or otherwise, damages or causes or permits to be
damaged any land, or any crop or produce of land, or any public road, by allowing
such pigs to trespass thereon, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be
punished with fine not exceeding ten rupees.
The State Government,
by notification in the Official Gazette, may from time to time, with respect to
any local area specified in the notification, direct that the foregoing portion
of this section shall be read as if it had reference to cattle generally, or to
cattle of a kind described in the notification, instead of to pigs only, or as
if the words "fifty rupees" were substituted for the words "ten
rupees" or as if there were both such reference and such substitution.]
