Mangaluru, Dec 13: The Supreme Court (SC) adjourned hearing into a petition filed by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) against holding of Kambalas by six weeks.
When the petition came up on Tuesday December 12, the three-judge bench which is hearing the petition put off the hearing by six weeks.
The petition filed by PETA that is questioning the way in which an ordinance was passed to allow holding of Kambalas and arguing that it is against law, had been taken up for hearing initially on November 6 by the SC. Hearing had been held pertaining to this case on November 13, 17 and again on November 24. On November 24, PETA had sought stay against Kambalas but the SC had refused to grant this prayer.
During this season, three Kambalas have already been held at Moodbidri, Hokkadigoly and Mangaluru. Dates have been fixed for holding of Venoor, Mulky, Miyyar, Nandikoor, Puttur, Bangadikolli, Kakyapadavu and Uppinangady Kambalas.
