SC rejects PIL seeking all-India ban on cow slaughter
The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a PIL seeking an all-India ban on cow slaughter, stating it will not interfere with state laws on the killing of cattle. "One state may ban slaughter, the other may not," the apex court observed. The court, however, said it has already passed orders on measures to stop the illegal inter-state transportation of cattle.
Dismissing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking an all-India ban on cow slaughter, the Supreme Court today said it will not interfere with state laws on the killing of cattle."One state may ban slaughter, the other may not... We will not interfere in state laws," the Supreme Court said as it rejected the petition seeking a uniform policy on cow slaughter.
