more-inThe Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a plea seeking modification of its July 11 order, which recorded the Centre’s submission that the Madras High Court staying the cattle slaughter ban rules extends all over the country. Khehar that the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court had already stayed “the rules” in May last. The court had duly recorded the Centre’s submission that the High Court stay extended throughout the country. Again, Ms. Maulekhi points out that the Madurai Bench’s limited stay order had lapsed on July 7. This was neither mentioned in the court nor does it find a place in the July 11 order.
