The Tamil Nadu government has approached the Supreme Court challenging the Madras High Court’s order imposing a statewide ban on cow and calf slaughter. The State questioned directions issued to authorities while hearing a PIL seeking regulation of slaughter at authorised places under law.
The Supreme Court refused to grant an urgent hearing to a PIL that sought strict and effective enforcement of the law banning cow slaughter ahead of Bakrid, directing the petitioner to follow the regular listing process.
