Supreme Court rejects plea to allow Jallikattu before Pongal
The Supreme Court has rejected a plea to allow Jallikattu, a bull-taming sport, saying it is not possible to deliver a verdict before Saturday when Pongal will be celebrated in Tamil Nadu. The apex court, which had first banned the sport in 2014 citing animal cruelty, had upheld the order last year when it dismissed the state government's review petition.
