Slaughtering Animals Without License: 'Implementation Of Rules Ineffective, Safeguard Public Interest': Madras High Court

Live Law  

While hearing a plea based on a complaint about slaughtering animals without the mandatory license, Madras High Court observed that authorities have not properly implemented the Tamil Nadu Village Panchayats Rules, 1999. In instances of slaughtering animals without the requisite license, appropriate actions including registration of criminal cases must be undertaken, noted the court. It is not made known whether the Authorities have initiated action in this regard with reference to the complaints in the public domain in the matter of slaughtering of animals without license. In the absence of any such submission before this Court, it is to be construed that the Authorities Competent are failing in their duties in implementation of the relevant Rules, more specifically, regarding the maintenance of public health: The court also indicated that the Rural Development Director should initiate action against subordinate officials displaying dereliction in their duties to enforce the rules.
