No ban on Jallikattu, part of culture for centuries: SC

[ad_1]

The Supreme Court has upheld the annual jallikattu sport in Tamil Nadu and refused to ban it. The Supreme Court upheld the state government’s law allowing Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu. He called for the law to be repealed, citing cruelty to the bulls participating in it. The Tamil Nadu law is said to be in violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act passed by Parliament.

 

 

The Supreme Court said- the aspect of cruelty has been taken care of in the new law. Sports have been a part of Tamil Nadu’s culture for centuries. It cannot be interrupted. Action should be taken against animal cruelty.

 

 

A five-judge constitution bench comprising Justices KM Joseph, Ajay Rastogi, Anirudh Bose, Hrishikesh Roy and CT Ravikumar delivered the verdict.
