NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Monday refused to interfere with the Madras high court’s decision prohibiting animal sacrifice and granting Muslim devotees limited rights to pray on the Thiruparankundram hills in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai. A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and P B Varale said that the order passed on Oct 10 was balanced and refused to entertain an appeal against it. The HC had held that any animal sacrifice and the cooking, carrying or serving of any non-vegetarian food cannot be permitted in the Nellithoppu area until a decision is rendered by a competent civil court with regard to the customary practice of animal sacrifice on the Thiruparankundram Hillock. “In fact, the temple Devasthanam has been declared to be the absolute owner of the traditional footsteps leading up to Nellithoppu area. The Mohammedans are only having the right of usage over the said pathway. In such circumstances, they cannot use the said pathway for any purpose other than to reach Nellithoppu area,” HC had said.  Upholding the order, the apex court said, “It seems to be a very balanced order…We do not propose to interfere with the order. Without expressing any opinion on the rights of the parties, the impugned order stands upheld.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Trade Deal Wouldn’t Happen Without Him”: Goyal Praises US Envoy GorOpposition Parties’ No-Confidence Move Against Om Birla?; ICC Rejects Pak Demand Over India BoycottRajnath Singh, Greek Counterpart Chart Five-Year Defence Cooperation Roadmap’India Must Find Its Own Elon Musk’: Ex-DGMO Emphasises Superiority In Space Tech To Win Future WarsPunjab Law College Horror: Student Shoots Classmate, Turns Gun On SelfBJP Accuses Mamata of Misleading Nation After SC SIR Ruling, TMC Counters ClaimsWatergate Files Reveal Ex-US President Nixon Was Ready To Back China If It Attacked India In 1971How Sanae Takaichi’s Japan Elections Win Could Alter Indo-Pacific Power Balance, India’s StrategyPariksha Pe Charcha 2026: PM Modi Advises Students on Discipline and More for Viksit Bharat 2047’White Collar Terrorism…’: Ex-DGMO AK Bhatt On Biggest Challenge For The Army In Jammu & Kashmir123PhotostoriesValentine’s Week special: Luxury stays for solo reflection and self connection8 easy and delicious ways to add fruit jam to your breakfastExclusive – Laughter Chefs 3’s Arjun Bijlani on pairing up with Tejasswi Prakash: I keep teasing her asking when she’s getting married, planning to have kids. even call her ‘bhabhi’Replace your cookware immediately if you notice these 5 signs (number 3 is a warning)Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder net worth: Inside the couple’s USD 260 million empireChef Sanjeev Kapoor shares 10 smart tips and tricks for deep frying for better taste and nutrition8 techniques to break negative thinking patterns in relationships6 unique homes in India; redefining contemporary residential architecture7 ancient fish species older than dinosaursHow luxurious is Suryakumar Yadav’s garage? 5 cars from his collection123Hot PicksUAE Public School RegistrationGold Silver PricesParliament Budget SessionGCC Unified Visa 2026Income Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingTravis KelceBad BunnyBrittany MahomesRobert Kraf WifeCoco JonesCandace OwensSuper Bowl 60 Halftime PerformanceNBA Trade RumorsJutta LeerdamKim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton Net Worth
