NEW DELHI: Hearing the pleas difficult the legal guidelines enacted by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka permitting jallikattu and bullock cart races, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court stated the final word query is whether or not jallikattu, thought of by many as cruelty to animals, may be allowed in any kind.
The attorneys showing for petitioners informed a Constitution bench headed by Justice Okay M Joseph that permitting one thing which is merciless to an animal can’t be permitted.
The bench emphasised submissions by the state that jallikattu doesn’t violate the rules of compassion, nor does it violate the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act norms. Tamil Nadu submitted that bulls in jallikattu are handled with care.
Senior advocate Shyam Divan showing for the petitioners stated, “Bulls kind a homogenous class. You can not create a sub-group or a sub-class and deal with them individually.
