Slaughtering of animals "cannot be allowed at any crossroad", the Delhi High Court said Wednesday and sought to know from the municipal corporation of East Delhi as to under what law or rules such activity was allowed and where.
"It (slaughtering) cannot be allowed on any crossroad. Which law provides where it should be done," a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar asked the corporation.
When the corporation's lawyer said there was a policy in place for regulating such activity, the bench said: "It was not a question of policy. You have to tell us under which law and rules, it is permitted and where. Otherwise close down the shops."
