Maharashtra Animal Preservation Amendment Act

Five persons have been arrested from a shop in Ambernath West, 70 km from Mumbai, on suspicion of cow slaughter.

The Maharashtra government, if required, will approach the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court's decision of striking down of "unconstitutional sections" of Maharashtra Animals Preservation (Amendment) Act, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said today.

The Bombay High Court today reserved its order on a bunch of petitions challenging the recent ban on consumption and possession of meat of slaughtered cows, bulls and bullocks.
