Cattle slaughter, especially cow slaughter, is a controversial topic in India because of the cattle's traditional status as an endeared and respected living being to some sects of Hindus, Jains, Zoroastrians, and Buddhists, while being considered an acceptable source of meat by Muslims. Legislation against cattle slaughter is in place throughout most states of India. On 26th October 2005, the Supreme Court of India, in a landmark judgement, upheld the constitutional validity of anti-cow slaughter laws enacted by different state governments in India. 20 out of 29 states in India currently have various laws regulating act of slaughtered cow, prohibiting the slaughter or sale of cows. Kerala, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and West Bengal are the states where there are no restrictions on cow slaughter. The Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 mentions that slaughter of cow, bull, bullock, ox, heifer and cow's calf is prohibited.
The same and points hereafter mentioned are applicable in states where slaughter or sale of cows is prohibited. However, there are exceptions for slaughter in case the suffering renders the destruction desirable according to the Veterinary Officer, if it is found out by such officer that the above-mentioned cattle has contagious or infectious disease or it is necessary to terminate it otherwise. The second exception is experimentation in the interest of medical and public health research by a certified practitioner for developing medicine for animals, humans and crops. Also, the sale of beef or beef products is prohibited except for prescribed medical purposes.
Cow slaughter as well as sale of beef invites an imprisonment which may extend to 5 years or/and a fine which may extend to Rs. 2000. The Prohibition of Cow Slaughter (Amendment) Act, 1981 inserted S.4A which prohibits the export of cows for the purpose of slaughter except when a permit is granted by an authorised officer (in accordance with S.4B). Also, Section 9A was inserted which permits the seizure of vehicles in which the cows are found as well as the protection of persons acting in good faith, which means that no suit or other legal proceedings shall be instituted against any person for anything which is done or intended to be done in good faith under the Act or rules made under the Act.
The Prohibition of Cow Slaughter (Amendment) Act, 2011 prescribes penalty for non-compliance of permit requirement for the export of cows and imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years or/and a fine which may extend to Rs. 1000 (for contravention of S.4B), and there is also a penalty for slaughter, sale of beef, export of cow without permit which invites an imprisonment up to 10 years and/or a fine which may extend to Rs. 10,000. The offences are cognisable and non-bailable.
Q. Tyrion Lannister, a foreigner from King's Landing, during his visit to India slaughtered a cow in Mizoram and brought its meat to Punjab on demand of his friends, who were residents of Punjab.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The Constitution of India guarantees to all its citizens certain fundamental freedoms, which are recognized as their fundamental rights. However, these fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of India are not absolute as no right can be. Each of these fundamental rights is liable to be controlled, curtailed and regulated to some extent by laws made by the Parliament or the State Legislatures. Accordingly, the Constitution of India lays down the grounds and the purposes for which a legislature can impose reasonable restrictions on the rights guaranteed to citizens. The State cannot travel beyond the contours of these reasonable restrictions in curbing the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens. While determining the constitutional validity of a restriction imposed on a fundamental right by a legislation, the Court is not concerned with the necessity of the restriction or the wisdom of the policy underlying it, but only whether the restriction is in excess of the requirement, and whether the legislature has overstepped the Constitutional limitations. Two of the fundamental rights guaranteed to every citizen of India are- the right to move freely throughout the territory of India and the right to reside and settle in any part of India. However, the State may impose reasonable restrictions on these rights by law, in the interests of the general public or for the protection of the interests of any Scheduled tribes.Q.The appropriate authority in a State passed an externment order against Mr. A, a citizen of India. The externment order prohibited Mr. A, from residing within the State, from the date specified in such order. The externment order was passed by virtue of powers conferred on the appropriate authority by law, and the constitutional validity of this law had been upheld by the Supreme Court of India. The externment order was passed on the ground that Mr. A was found to be frequently engaged in illegal business of narcotic drugs and was also involved in several cases of riot and criminal intimidation. In the given situation, which of the following statements is correct regarding the externment order?
