SC Stays Madras HC Order on Cow Slaughter Ban in TN
The Supreme Court stayed a Madras High Court order that directed the Tamil Nadu government to enforce a blanket ban on cow slaughter during Bakrid or any other day. The dispute arose from a May 27 order by a division bench of the Madras High Court, which sought to prohibit slaughter outside designated slaughterhouses. The state government challenged this order, arguing it contradicted the Tamil Nadu Animal Preservation Act, 1958, which permits slaughter under specific conditions (e.g., age and fitness). The Supreme Court stayed the order, noting that the High Court's direction required 'correction,' and the court will await further orders.
