No HC relief for Jain community seeking closure of slaughter houses during 10-day festival

The Bombay High Court declined to grant relief to the Jain community, who sought a 10-day closure of Mumbai slaughterhouses during Paryushan Parv. The court questioned the basis for demanding such an extensive shutdown, noting the BMC’s decision to close slaughterhouses for two days already. The BMC cited the Deonar slaughterhouse’s regional importance in its decision.
