A bench of Justices Ashutosh Srivastava and Pritinker Diwaker observed that that there was no complete ban on meat and eggs, and the restriction pertained only to 22 wards in the city and not other wards.
“This restriction has been imposed only with respect to 22 Wards and is not applicable to other Wards of the city. Thus, there is no complete ban,” the Court said.
The Court said India is a country of great diversity and to keep our country united, it is absolutely essential to have tolerance and respect for all communities and sects.
“India is a country of great diversity. It is absolutely essential if we wish to keep our country united to have tolerance and respect for all communities and sects. It was due to the wisdom of our founding fathers that we have a Constitution which is secular in character and which caters to all communities, sects lingual and ethnic groups etc in the country,” the Court observed.
The Court went on to state that it is the Constitution which is keeping us together despite tremendous diversity as it gives equal respect to all communities, sects, linguistic and ethnic groups in the country.
