SC Upholds Stay on Cattle Slaughter Rules – What Happens Next?
Were the rules struck down? It needs to be emphasised that the Supreme Court has not made any decision on the substance of the Rules, and nor has the Madras High Court. The Madras High Court is still seized of the matter, but is unlikely to go into the merits of the matter till the end of August at least, in light of the Centre’s clarifications. While the Centre’s move to prepare a new set of rules avoids assessment of merits in the existing petitions, any such rules will be vulnerable to the same challenges. The primary issue is that regulation of animal markets and animal slaughter are State subjects in the Constitution, meaning that the States have the right to pass laws relating to them, not the Centre.
