Supreme Court issues notice on plea challenging UP government's ban on halal-certified products

The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice on a plea that challenged the UP government's notification that puts a complete ban on the sale, storage and distribution of Halal-certified products in the east Indian state.

A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to the Centre and Uttar Pradesh Government on the plea filed by Halal India Private Limited and Jamiat Ulama-e-Maharashtra challenging the ban imposed by the Uttar Pradesh Government in November last year, reported India Today.

The petitioner contended that the ban violated the citizens' fundamental rights and undermined established certification processes.

Senior Advocate Siddharth Aggarwal and Raju Ramachandran told the bench that the ban has wide ramifications, including interstate trade, and said as quoted by India Today, "This ban has a pan-India effect and affects a community across the country and therefore has national implication. There is an immediate effect on interstate trade and industry, and on the consumer."

The bench declined to pass any interim relief into the matter.

The bench said the matter will be considered at a later stage.
