The plea stated that the Director’s letter was merely an eye wash for political appeasement,and had no rationale nexus with the object sought to be achieved.
“The impugned letter arbitrarily classifies between slaughterhouses and meat shops on the one hand, and various restaurants, meal joints and food hubs on the other so as to prohibit meat only in the former and not in the latter”, the petition further said.
Relying on these grounds, the petitioners sought quashing of the letters.
