A. Veal is made from male calves. It is forbidden to be made in India. The Hotels are allowed to use only imported veal. In fact, with calves being starved to death just after they are born, there is reason to suspect that they are being carried for VEAL. Of course, Calf leather also tetches high ;rkce. So it is not at all a loosing proposition for a illegal trader. All legal provisions are applicable on this heinous crime apart from Indian Customs Act and Food Adulteration Act. For example. A hotel serving articles made form veal, if checked, has to show its source of procurement. And He can be booked under above Acts And Rules, if found using VEAL of local origin.
