What remains disputed or unverified

No disputed central claims are recorded for this story.

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Madras High Court order that had imposed a blanket ban on the slaughter of cows and calves across Tamil Nadu, according to the reports. One account described the top court action as a pause, while another said it was a stay of the high court ruling.

The high court’s order dated May 27 had directed a statewide ban on cow slaughter, and the state government later moved the Supreme Court to contest it.

State challenge to the ruling

According to one report, Tamil Nadu’s government told the top court that the high court had travelled beyond the scope of the public interest litigation by imposing a blanket prohibition on slaughtering cows and calves throughout the state.
