Farm, Pune. The said cows were to be allotted to the local

farmers, who would sell milk to the dairy plant to be set up

by the company, however, the company did not distribute

cows to the beneficiary farmers, whose names were included

in the proposal and handed over cows to other farmers.

Heard the learned Advocate for the applicant

and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the

respondent/State. Perused the case diary made available by

the learned Additional Public Prosecutor.

It appears from the record that, in fact, the cows

were distributed to the farmers, may be some of them were

outside the list prepared at the relevant time. The fact

remains that the cows were distributed to the farmers.

order dated 09/09/2020. The applicant has attended the

Police Station and has cooperated in the investigation in

pursuance of the order dated 15/06/2021. The other two

accused including the father of the applicant were arrested

and have been released on bail. The investigation papers

indicate that the investigation is almost over and the charge-

sheet is likely to be filed soon.
