SC to hear petitions against Centere's decision to allow Jallikattu

New Delhi, Jan 11 (IBNS) Days after the Centre withdrew ban on Tamil Nadu's bull-taming sport Jallikattu, the Supreme Court will hear on Tuesday several petitions challenging the order.

However, the  Tamil Nadu government has welcomed the decision  to lift ban on the festival and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his ‘prompt response' to the appeal for allowing the sport.

In a letter to the  Prime Minister, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa  said, "I am very grateful to you for your prompt response in the matter, which has enabled the conduct of Jallikattu."

The centre has, however, imposed some conditions to prevent cruelty against animal.

However, the  petitioners, who  include animal rights activist Gauri Maulekhi, have sought the quashing of the  government notification.
