Karnataka High Court Allows Hori Habba Festival with Conditions

The Karnataka High Court has allowed the Hori Habba festival, which is like the Jallikattu festival in Tamil Nadu.

This festival involves bull taming and is popular in some districts of Karnataka.

The court said the festival can happen but only if all the safety rules set by the Supreme Court are followed.

These rules are to make sure the animals are not harmed.

The court also said that if anything bad happens during the festival, the people involved will be punished.

A group had asked the court to allow the festival, but the government said they need to follow the rules.

The court agreed that the festival can happen but only if the Supreme Court's rules are strictly followed.
