Kaul and Justice R. Mahadevan, refused to entertain a repeated request made by petitioner J. Abdul Raheem, founder of Indian National League (INL), a political party, to permit camel slaughtering temporarily in view of Bakrid that falls on Tuesday. However, the Bench made it clear that the court has not completely banned camel slaughtering, but has temporarily denied permission since there is no proper facilities in the State. But the petitioner cannot seek to modify an interim order passed in a different petition, through a new plea." On August 18, while hearing a batch of PILs moved against camel slaughtering, the Bench said, “It is trite to say that slaughtering of camels cannot be the same as slaughtering of goats. There is thus no facility in Tamil Nadu for proper slaughtering of camels where it to be permitted."
