2 CONT.P.(MD)NO.140 OF 2020

3. Today when the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondent pointed out that the petitioner's case could not be considered for the simple reason that Gopal Ratna award is given only to those farmers maintaining herd of Indigenous breeds. The petitioner on the other hand is maintaining only a Jersey cross breed. Therefore, the representation of the petitioner came to be rejected. A copy of the order dated 12.03.2020 has also been enclosed in the typed set of papers.

4. Therefore, nothing survives for further consideration in this writ petition. This contempt petition is closed.
