The Supreme Court has stayed the bull taming festival jallikattu and bullock cart races that take place in the harvest festival in many states. These are customary practices and hearing petitions by various animal rights groups, the court has imposed interim stay on the practices. The four year ban on the practices had ended with a government notification on January 8. The order has given rise to protests in the political circles. The parties claim the customary nature of the tradition to justify its perpetuation.
