this PIL is to ensure that no animal slaughter takes place in WB for any other purpose than for serving food to mankind.

Petitioner seeks strict compliance with various statutes on prevention of cruelty against animals.

petitioner approached court on grounds of a program organised by Bolla Kali Mata Temple.

Petitioners case is that the temple committee has claimed that 10000 goats would be slaughtered and that appropriate action be taken to stop this.

the program to be conducted is scheduled to take place today.

At this nth hour, any effective interim direction cannot be passed and even assuming such orders are passed, the same cannot be implemented effectively.

we have taken note of the various guidelines on this aspect.

the Akhil Bharathiya Gosewa Sangh seeks to intervene in these proceedings.

They have referred to various HC and SC decisions and submitted that several HC have held the practise of animal sacrifice to violate article 21 and banned such activities.

the Kerala govt had also passed a law banning sacrifice in temples, the same is also challenged before the SC

As said, we need to see the larger issue as no law in WB exists banning animal sacrifice

Govt counsel submitted that a meeting has been held on today’s festivities, and from the conditions imposed, it is required for the members of the temple committee to abide by the clear bar for mass sacrifice during the puja.

Since a larger relief is sought, we seek affidavits within 8 weeks from date.

We’ll list the matter sometime in March.

you make a list of all enactments and all decisions given on the issue even by single benches, all over India.

Don’t research on judgements only related to slaughtering. There is a festival in Kerala where they make bulls race, then rooster fights with knives.

read Jalikattu, cover to cover. The HC judgements
There was a huge agitation, state said it was part of culture.
Now it is monitored, conditions are imposed.
Because of the reckless behaviour of the tamers, the bulls get killed.
