Div ision Bench of the State High Court comprising First Puisne Judge Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sanjay Kumar Gupta directed the Registry to place on record the response filed by the petitioner NGO (SAVE) to the status report filed by the Jammu Municipal Corporation in the much publicized PIL seeking closure of unregulated /unregistered/unlicensed slaughter houses/meat shops in the State of J&K. When this PIL came up for hearing today, Advocate Sheikh Shakeel Ahmed appearing for the petitioner submitted that pursuant to the orders passed by the Division Bench on August, 31, 2018 the petitioner NGO SAVE through its Chairperson Devinder Kaur Madaan alias Rumpy Madaan has filed the response to the status report filed by the Jammu Municipal Corporation opposing the mechanized slaughter houses in Jammu as divulged in the status report of the JMC.Advocate S.S. Ahmed further submitted that in the response the petitioner NGO has submitted that the modernization of slaughter houses by any stretch of imagination cannot be interpreted as mechanized slaughter houses. The mechanized slaughter houses are not the solution to the illegal and unregulated slaughter houses as suggested by the Jammu Municipal Corporation. The response further says that mechanized slaughter houses inflict cruelty and manual slaughter houses are of low cost, ecological and in much more consonance with the laws. Advocate S.S. Ahmed further submitted that the response to the status report has been filed today morning. Upon this the Division Bench headed by Justice Alok Aradhe directed the Registry to place on record the response filed by the petitioner NGO (SAVE) to the status report filed by the Jammu Municipal Corporation in the aforesaid PIL. Senior AAG S.S. Nanda and Advocate Sachin Gupta appeared for Housing and Urban Development Department and Jammu Municipal Corporation.
