Mumbai, May 6 (NDTV): The ban on beef and cattle slaughter will remain in Maharashtra but it will no longer be illegal to keep or eat beef from outside the state, Bombay High Court said today.

Last year, the state had enforced a complete beef ban and made the sale or consumption of the meat punishable by a five-year jail-term and Rs. 10,000 fine.

Parts of the law were struck down today.

Petitions challenged the ban saying in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai where various cultures merge, such a ban would be impractical.

Other petitions argued that the ban violates fundamental rights of citizens.

    How it can be proved the beef I stock in the fridge or I eat is brought from outside Maharashtra State?
    Court should now itself clarify on that or those Law enforcers will be tempted or surely catch and penalise\blackmailing eaters\storer the meat is from Maharashtra itself.
    Can we import for our consumption cows\bullocks etc and then slaughter them in Maharashtra for consuming meat? It will not diminish the number of cows etc. from India. The taste of frozen beef meat from abroad is good but not as good as fresh meat.
    Why the authorities bent upon curtailing my rights on consuming food what I need?

    Note the blatant hypocrisy of those opposing marriage laws based on one religion while simultaneously supporting laws based on another religion to ban cow slaughter and beef-eating!!
