High Court Permits Animal Sacrifice During Festivals at Dargah

High Court Permits Animal Sacrifice During Festivals at Dargah

The Bombay High Court said it's okay to sacrifice animals for Bakri Eid and the Urs festival at a dargah (a religious building) in Kolhapur.

They said the slaughter has to happen on private land, not in public.

This is because authorities wanted to ban animal slaughter at the fort due to a monument law.

The court also reminded everyone of a previous ruling on the issue from last year and said the same rules apply now.

Devotees can sacrifice animals at the dargah for Eid and the Urs festival this year.
