| Tamil Nadu's recent law to bring back Jallikattu bypassing a Supreme Court ban was spared today but the top court ripped into the state over the massive protests that forced extraordinary measures to restore the ancient bull-taming tradition.
"Law and order situation is the primacy in a civilised society. Convey this to your executive to maintain law and order. We passed a stay order one year ago. Why these protests now?" the court questioned the Tamil Nadu government, referring to the massive protests on the Marina Beach in Chennai and other parts of the state.
The protests were against a Supreme Court ban on the sport in 2014. Last year, the centre's notification to skirt the ban was also put on hold by the court. The central government this week asked for the court's permission to withdraw its notification, since Tamil Nadu now has a law that allows Jallikattu.
"We are governed by the rule of law. These kind of things should not happen," said the court which, however, refused to put the law on hold
