Topic: A Critical Analysis on Judgements related to JalliKattu(Bull Taming Sport) and its
impact on Policy making
Introduction:
Jallikattu (or sallikkattu), also known as eru thazhuvuthal and manju virattu, is a traditional
spectacle in which a Bos indicus bull, such as the Pulikulam or Kangayam breeds, is released
into a crowd of people, and multiple human participants attempt to grab the large hump on
the bull's back with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants
hold the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases,
participants must ride long enough to remove flags on the bull's horns.

Government plays a very important role in social development of the nation through various
schemes and projects, most importantly by implementing constitutional provisions.

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,1960 was amended in the year 1982. According to
the newly amended Indian animal welfare act, 2011 cruelty to animals is an offence and is
punishable with a fine which shall not be less than ten thousand Rupees, which may extend to
twenty five thousand Rupees or with imprisonment up to two years or both in the case of a
first offence. In the case of second or subsequent offence, with a fine which shall not be less
than fifty thousand Rupees, but may extend to one lakh Rupees and with imprisonment with a
term which shall not be less than one year but may extend to three years. This amendment is
currently awaiting ratification from the Government of India. The 1962 Act in the meanwhile
is the one that is practiced as of now. The maximum penalty under the 1962 Act is Rs. 50
(under $1). Many organizations, including ones such as the local SPCA, PFA
and Fosterdopt are actively involved in assisting the general population in reporting cruelty
cases to the police and helping bring the perpetrator to justice. Due to this, much of change
has been observed through the subcontinent.

As the current research topic is A Critical Analysis on Judgements related to Jallikattu and
its impact on policy making, researcher would like to discuss various dimensions of Right to
Privacy and cite various landmark judgements given by the Apex Court.

With this, the researcher would like to conclude the Abstract.
