The Supreme Court of India(SCI)on Thursday Jan 12,2017 refused to pass order before Saturday on plea challenging Centre's notification allowing Jallikattu
The SCI turned down the plea seeking its intervention to pass judgement on Jalikattu before Saturday, says "unfair to ask bench to pass order".
The SCI said draft of Jallikattu judgement has been prepared, but it was not possible to deliver it before Saturday, when it is to be organised in the southern state.
Political parties have been pressing the central and tamil Nadu governments to take steps to let people hold the sport. Protests have been held in the state in support of the sport.
The Supreme Court in May 2014 banned Jallikattu.
The court held that bulls cannot be used as performing animals either for Jallikattu or for bullock cart races anywhere in the country.
With Tamil Nadu mounting pressure for promulgation of an ordinance to enable Jallikattu, the Centre on Wednesday Jan 11,2017 said though "things are ready" on its side, it will wait for the order of Supreme Court which it hoped will do justice so that people can celebrate festival as per tradition.Nadu mounting pressure for promulgation of an ordinance to enable Jallikattu, the Centre on Wednesday said though "things are ready" on its side, it will wait for the order of Supreme Court which it hoped will do justice so that people can celebrate festival as per tradition.
