SC refuses to revoke ban on Jallikattu

New Delhi, Jan 13 (IBNS) In a significant move, the Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected to revoke the ban on traditional bull-fighting sport in Tamil Nadu Jallikattu.

Petitions supporting the conduct of the sport was dismissed by the court.

Last week, the Centre had lifted the ban on Jallikattu that had been imposed by the apex court ruling in May 2014.

The festival was not held last year - it was banned by the erstwhile UPA government when the DMK was part of the alliance. This time, the DMK had demanded that the ban on the festival be lifted.
