Bal Ram Bali & Anr vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32 seeking a total ban on the slaughter of cows, buffaloes, and horses, holding that such matters are within the domain of legislative policy and cannot be directed by the Court. The Court reiterated that it cannot compel the Parliament or State legislature to enact specific laws, referencing Union of India v. Prakash P. Hinduja (2003) and other precedents. The Court concluded that no relief could be granted to the petitioners as the issues raised require legislative action.
