N.R. Nair And Ors vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Section 22 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, which prohibits the training and exhibition of certain animals, including bears, monkeys, tigers, panthers, and lions. The Court found that the Notification issued under Section 22 was not arbitrary and that the Government's decision was within its jurisdiction, as no relevant facts were ignored. The appeals challenging the Kerala High Court's judgment affirming the Notification were dismissed.
