    Case Summary: Yogesh Abarao Nikam v. State of Maharashtra (327/2025) The court allowed the petitioner's application to recover his seized Mahindra Bolero pickup vehicle (used to illegally transport seven cattle in violation of animal cruelty laws) on conditional bail. The court imposed strict conditions: the petitioner must pay ₹200 daily per animal for their care at a goshala (₹1,87,200 total), furnish a ₹5,00,000 bond, cannot modify or sell the vehicle until trial concludes, and must produce it when directed. The court found prima facie violations of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960 and animal transport regulations, but determined the vehicle owner could be released while holding both owner and driver jointly liable for animal welfare costs.
