Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have no concern with the alleged recovered cow beef of 90 Kg. in the present case and having no concern with the alleged meat shop of co-accused Shahzad. In fact alleged recovery has been made from the meat shop of co-accused Shahzad, who is having valid license of meat processing unit since 14.01.2025 and the police fabricated false story in relation to his false implication in the present case. There is no independent witness of the alleged recovery of the beef. There is no independent public witness of the alleged recovery dated 13.03.2025. It is further submitted that the investigating officer has not submitted charge sheet till date against the applicant and investigation is still pending.
