Punjab and Haryana High Court Issues Notice Over Alleged Rs 500 Crore MILKFED Seed Subsidy Scam
Punjab and Haryana High Court is looking into a public interest litigation (PIL) about an alleged Rs 500 crore scam. The case involves buying and giving out hybrid maize and bajra seeds. This subsidy scheme was made to help dairy farmers through MILKFED and the state cooperation department, but it is now being checked for possible criminal activity.
Petitioners claim tenders from 2025 and 2026 were changed to help certain companies. The complaint says seeds were often not given to farmers, but records were faked to claim the 30% subsidy. Also, an internal report from the Dasuya milk plant on May 20, 2026, pointed out issues like higher prices and fake stock records. A complaint was filed with Punjab Vigilance Bureau on May 22, but no FIR has been filed.

A bench with acting Chief Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rohit Kapoor heard the case on August 13. The court asked the state government and MILKFED officials to submit their replies by September 28. The people who filed the petition want an independent inquiry, possibly by the CBI, into the reported corruption and money laundering.
