A court in Mumbai has rejected calls for the relaxation of a beef ban for a four-day period over this week’s Muslim Eid celebrations.
Petitions from Muslim groups had called for the Bombay High Court to provide exemptions to the ban imposed in Maharashtra state in March.
The ban made the sale and possession of beef and the slaughter of bulls and calves illegal and punishable by up to five years imprisonment. The slaughter of cows was prohibited in 1976.
The court ruled it could not relax the ban temporarily as the decision lay with the state government.
