HINSA VIRODHAK SANGH vs MIRZAPUR MOTI KURESH JAMAT .

The Supreme Court held that the closure of municipal slaughterhouses during the Paryushan festival, as mandated by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, violates the fundamental right to trade under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that such closures cannot be justified as reasonable restrictions based solely on the sentiments of a particular community, as it infringes upon the rights of others engaged in the meat trade. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, declaring the resolutions for closure unconstitutional and restoring their right to conduct business without such restrictions.
