BAL RAM BALI vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32, which sought a total ban on the slaughter of cows, buffaloes, and horses, stating that such matters fall within the domain of policy decisions to be made by the government and cannot be mandated by the court. The Court referenced Union of India v. Prakash P. Hinduja & Anr. (2003) 6 SCC 195, emphasizing that no court can direct the legislature to enact specific laws. The Court held that it lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief sought by the petitioners, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
