Faisal Hussain moved to Court against the Government’s decision. In the petition, he had sought permission to slaughter animals at the abattoir in Manglaur municipality, as 90 per cent of the population living there is Muslims. In a hearing in the Uttarakhand High Court on 7th July, the Court said it is permitting the lifting of the ban on slaughterhouses in Manglaur town for Bakrid. The slaughter of animals can only be done in a slaughterhouse, the Court ordered.
