Tamil Nadu govt challenges Madras HC's blanket cow slaughter ban in Supreme Court
The Tamil Nadu government, led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, has moved the Supreme Court against a Madras High Court order imposing a complete ban on cow slaughter. The state contends that the high court overstepped its jurisdiction by extending the prohibition even to licensed slaughterhouses. Tamil Nadu argues that existing laws regulate, rather than outright ban, the slaughter of aged or unfit cows. The government has sought an interim stay on the high court's directive, which also applies during occasions such as Bakrid.
