ANIMALS SACRIFICE

Sept. 29, 2019

The Tripura High Court has ordered to ban the centuries-old tradition of animals sacrifice in religious places across the state.

Judgement:

  • The High Court said that no person including the state shall be allowed to sacrifice of any animal or bird within the precincts of any one of the temples within the state of Tripura. The order has to be implemented with immediate effect.

  • The court also suggested that the Government can earmark land for an opening shelter home for rearing the livestock.

  • The ban has been imposed on a PIL filed by former District Judge who raised a concern about animal sacrifice in religious places including Tripura Sundari and Chaturdash Devta temples.
