[14/01, 09:31] Meta AI: The Madras High Court has rejected a plea to allow a village panel to conduct Jallikattu in Avaniyapuram, Madurai district. The court emphasized that Jallikattu should be conducted by the government, not private individuals, citing concerns over law and order and potential cruelty to animals. The petitioner, Murugan, had sought permission for a village-level committee to organize the event, but the court ruled that government supervision is necessary. ¹

The decision is in line with previous rulings, which have stressed the importance of regulating Jallikattu to prevent animal cruelty and ensure public safety. The Supreme Court had earlier upheld the Tamil Nadu government’s amendment to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, allowing Jallikattu with certain regulations. ² ³
