A very interesting development yesterday. SC issued a judgement overturning the judgement from Guj HC that allowed the slaughterhouses to operate freely during paryushan - a jaina festival. Guj has a big population of Jains and for years I have been hearing calls to close slaughterhouses during paryushan but it never worked.
But this year SC has given a favourable judgement and will result in all slaughterhouses who mainly slaughter cows to close shop during paryushan.
SC seems to be on a controversial judgement spree.
