Telangana High Court to Hear Plea Against Beef Shop Shutdown on Independence Day & Janmashtami

A petition has been filed in the Telangana High Court challenging the government's order to shut down beef shops and slaughterhouses on Independence Day (August 15) and Janmashtami (August 19).

The plea argues that the closure violates fundamental rights, including the freedom to trade and the right to livelihood of butchers and meat sellers. It also questions the legal basis for the ban, claiming it discriminates against certain communities.

The court is expected to hear the matter soon.
