Delhi HC to hear PIL against ban on possession of beef The bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath asked the counsel for the Delhi government to seek instructions on the matter, and will now hear the plea on July 13. Written by Aneesha Mathur New Delhi Published:May 5, 2016, 5:25 The PIL, filed through advocate Apar Gupta, has alleged that the “Cattle Preservation Act is nothing but a case of legislative over-reach. The Delhi High court Wednesday agreed to hear a PIL challenging provisions of the Delhi Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act, which prohibits possession and consumption of beef in the capital, “in violation of constitutional provision”. The PIL, filed through advocate Apar Gupta, has alleged that the “Cattle Preservation Act is nothing but a case of legislative over-reach. The National Capital Territory of Delhi, by prohibiting the possession of the flesh of any cow, bull or bullock slaughtered outside Delhi in effect prohibits the slaughter of animals in other states as well. It also makes the possession of beef, i.e. the meat of any cow, bull or bullock slaughtered in any other country an offence.” Snipped -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
