Mumbai, Sep 17 (Midday News): Two petitions have been filed before the Bombay High Court seeking an exemption from the ban on slaughter and sale of the meat of bulls / male calves from September 25 to 28 on the occasion of Eid festival.

The division bench headed by Justice Abhay Oka clubbed the two petitions with other PILs challenging the controversial beef ban in the state. The hearing will be on September 21. One of the two petitions filed on Wednesday seeks a direction to the state government to temporarily suspend provisions banning and penalising the slaughter of bulls/male calves and possession of their meat in the amended Maharashtra Preservation of Animals Act.

According to the petitioners Aslam Alamgir Malkani and Ishaque Abdul Aziz Shaikh, the Act violates articles 25 (freedom of religion), 26 (freedom to manage religious affairs) and 29 (protection of interests of minorities) of the Constitution.

    Playing of the BJP with the food plate was the biggest blunder for which they will be lamenting in course of time.

    If they don't like to eat meat-fish-eggs or anything they want to avoid, nobody will force them to eat. But, for those people who are eating their choice of food to live on this earth, if playing with that right, well, be prepared for political earthquake.
