Abdulsattar Yusufbhai Qureshi & Ors vs State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court held that the Notification dated 11.12.1989 issued under the Gujarat Essential Commodities and Cattle (Control) Act, 1958, which imposed restrictions on the slaughter of bulls and bullocks, was intra vires the Constitution. The Court found that the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the Notification was incorrect, as the restrictions were deemed reasonable and did not violate the appellants' fundamental rights. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's judgment.
