Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab Cattle Fairs (Regulation) Act, 1967, stating that the Act was not vague despite the absence of a definition for 'cattle fair' prior to the amendment. The Court ruled that the amendment introducing Section 2(bb) defining 'cattle fair' was valid and did not violate Articles 19(1)(b), (d), (f), and (g) of the Constitution. The Court also clarified that the High Court's previous ruling did not operate as res judicata, allowing the amended Act to stand.
