The ban on beef will continue in Maharashtra after the Bombay High Court today upheld the state government's decision to ban the slaughter of bullocks.
The court, however, struck down a section in the Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act, which criminalises the possession of beef brought from outside Maharashtra.
The High Court was hearing a bunch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the ban imposed last year soon after the BJP government took over.
