India’s Supreme Court on Monday, July 13, 2026, suspended a Madras High Court directive that had imposed a statewide ban on the slaughter of cows and calves in Tamil Nadu, including during Eid al-Adha. The apex court stated that certain aspects of the High Court’s ruling required reconsideration. The decision came after the Tamil Nadu government, led by Thalapathy Vijay, filed a special leave petition challenging the earlier order issued on May 27.
The state government argued that existing national laws already regulate animal slaughter under specific conditions and locations, and that a blanket judicial ban conflicted with these provisions. The Madras High Court’s earlier order, based on a 1976 government directive, aimed to boost milk production and strengthen the rural economy. The bench had also cited Article 48 of the Constitution, emphasizing the duty of states to prevent the slaughter of milch animals.
Several religious and social groups opposed the High Court’s ban, arguing that restricting slaughter only to licensed abattoirs during major festivals like Eid was impractical due to limited capacity. The Supreme Court’s suspension now allows time for further legal review of the issue.
