SC permits Bullock Cart racing in Maharashtra

👉The Supreme Court allowed Maharashtra to hold the traditional bullock cart racing event, which has been prohibited since 2017.

👉The decision was based on the amendments to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960 implemented by the state, in line with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

👉Bullock cart is a popular and traditional sport in Western Maharashtra and in Pune district.

👉Apart from a traditional sporting event, the rural economy too is associated with bullock cart races.

👉The court observed that there was no reason to disallow it in the state when similar sports were going on in other places across the country.

👉If it is a traditional sport and going on all across the country except Maharashtra, it does not appeal to common sense.
