    Case Summary: 355/2025 Petitioner: Shaikh Rauf Shaikh Mahemud Respondent: State of Maharashtra Court Decision The court approved the petitioner's application with conditions to release a seized Mahindra Bolero pickup vehicle. The petitioner sought return of his vehicle seized in connection with FIR 185/2025 (Devgaon Sangari Police Station) involving charges under animal cruelty laws. The court found prima facie evidence that the vehicle was used for illegally transporting five cattle in cruel conditions, violating Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and animal transport rules. However, recognizing the vehicle owner's potential lack of direct involvement, the court conditionally released the vehicle upon: (1) the petitioner depositing ₹1,12,000 as daily care costs for the cattle (₹200 per animal per day from seizure until case conclusion); (2) posting a ₹5 lakh bond; and (3) submitting vehicle photographs and documentation to police. The cattle's custody was transferred to Radhakrishna Goshala. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
