Case:The case was brought to the court by former district judge Shubhash Bhattachaarjee, by filing PIL (Public Interest Litigation). The court in respond on 27th September 2019 said that: "No person including the state shall be allowed to scarifies of any animal or bird within the precincts of any of the temples in the state of Tripura."
Court also said that: "Anyone of the devotees desirous of offering any animal out of personal faith, belief or desire, may do so but shall take back the animal and under no circumstances, any activity of animal sacrifices shall be permitted to carry out."
Pondering:
After the Sabarimala Case, it is one new case where court is interfering and hurting religious sentiments. These ancient Indian traditions being practiced for centuries. It doesn't mean that I personally support the cruelty animals going through. But it creates doubt on the judiciary when it comes to other cases.
The title of an article published in 2015, I can still remember goes "SC rejects plea to ban animal sacrifices in festivals", after going through this article again it reminded me that it was time after Bakra-eid where the court said that it can not intervene in centuries-old customs.
Bombay High court case was the about the right place for the slaughtering of Buck, but the question is, what courts and governments are doing, it all sounds like "Selective Secularism".
It's not about any particular religion but the question is about what actually the pillars of a constitution are doing.
Judges or the judiciary seems to have different parameters for different religions. On the one hand in Jallikattu, Sabarimala & Tripureshwari Maa cases court instead of respecting religious sentiments developed from the period of hundreds of years, courts are intervening on the other hand in many cases it is saying that it can't intervene into it.
This can bring two different conclusions either the judiciary has different criteria for different religions or the judges are giving decisions on the basis of their personal view.
In Tripureshwari Maa case there is another angle of the merger agreement that was signed between regent Maharani Kanchan Prabha Devi and Indian governor-general, which will be made as a base by the state of Tripura to further appeal in the supreme court.
The doubt and the point of discussion are about having different parameters for the judgment, or the Judgement is adulterated with a personal view ?? In both cases common men doubt policymakers, influencing decisions, which don't seem to have a good impact on the temperament of people.
I would like to clear my stand, that I don't support any kind of inhuman behavior with animals, neither I have any problem with any of the religion.
I felt important to clear my stand else many are ready to point you on the basis of their limited parameters.
Common Note : I respect and support the decision of Supreme Court, and have full faith in it.
