REMARKS/ SUGGESTIONS

The Indian Constitution is the nation's riveting and central component and consequent provisions
or acts should henceforth be passed to compensate for the laws relating to the prohibition of cattle
slaughter activities in several states and territories of the union. In order to establish uniformity in
the whole of India, various states should come together in central institutions and make common
laws concerning the same. Decisions should be taken collectively irrespective of the overall
sovereignty, since all provinces will prevail in accordance with their convenience, which is not in
favor of the general public. In order to make swift decisions, bold punishment could be imposed
inclusive of charges for the persons who are the law breakers and special courts should also be
formed as courts are already filled with that in several cases. In order to make different
communities aware of the laws and provisions related to the prohibition of cattle slaughter,
different awareness campaigns should be coordinated by the government. In order to make them
separate and powerful provisions of the Indian Constitution, general guidelines regarding the
making of directive principles and fundamental duties should be made justifiable by statute. In
India, only fundamental rights, which only offer power to the general public but not binding duties
and obligations, have been justifiable in law for many years. In conjunction with the central
government, the Union territories should also make arrangements so that uniform legal statutes
prevail throughout the country.
PRESENT SCENERIO

In India, cow slaughter has re-emerged as a major socially and politically divisive problem in the
last few months. Under India's Constitution, the cow slaughter control is seen as a state issue. The
list of areas for which the States are responsible includes the reservation, safety and enhancement
of the stock and prevention of animal diseases in the seventh schedule of the Constitution;
veterinary training and practice. On the basis of a variety of Directive Principles of State Policy
found in the Constitution, various state-level laws limiting or banning cattle slaughter have been
justified. It is also interesting to research and evaluate all sides of the issue, the petitioner and the
respondent, as an interesting part of the legal forum and legal studies. That is why different states
have enacted their own laws prohibiting cow slaughter to varying degrees, and there are some
states where no such law exists, such as Kerala. This also explains why there is no central law on
this subject however, there are certain provisions in the Constitution which may still allow, under
certain circumstances, such as Articles 249, 250, 252 and 253 of the Constitution, a central law on
a subject which appears in the State List in the Seventh Schedule. Article 48 of the Constitution
provides a Directive Principle of State Policy that orders the State to prohibit cow slaughter
although it is not binding and it is not enforceable. The decision is certainly true as well as
constitutional as it complies with one of the most relevant Directive Principles of State Policy that
is quite complementary and complementary to fundamental rights. At this point, it is sufficient to
state that the Supreme Court has upheld, on secular grounds, the constitutionality of the laws
prohibiting the slaughter of cows and their offspring on the basis of the provisions of the
Constitution.
AIM OF THE MAJORITY VIEW

The aim of the majority decision was to not ban cow slaughter entirely but to bring prohibitions.
According to people’s beliefs and sentiments cow slaughtering should’ve been banned in the name
of religion but the supreme court’s decision was to impose prohibitions and not allow cow
slaughtering for religious purpose.
