NEW DELHI Wholesale New England Patriots Jerseys , May 30 (Xinhua) -- The High court in southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu on Tuesday stayed federal government's ban on cattle slaughtering, officials said.


The Madras high court asked the federal and local governments to file their reply within four weeks.


""The court issued notice to the central and the state governments today in a petition filed by social activist and lawyer S Selvagomathy,"" a court official said Wholesale New Orleans Saints Jerseys , adding ""the court directed the central government to file counter in four weeks. In the meantime, the court ordered an interim stay on the rules.""


The petitioner told court new rules would adversely affect the farmers' right to life under Article 21 and said that it will give cow vigilantes more fuel to push their agenda.


Last week, the Indian ministry of Environment Wholesale New York Giants Jerseys , Forests and Climate Change notified new rules banning sale and purchase from any animal market for purposes of slaughter or religious sacrifice.


Two Indian states -- Kerala and West Bengal-- strongly objected to the federal government's order of prohibiting sale of cattle for slaughter at animal markets.


The chief ministers of the states described the ban as an infringement on state powers and asserted that they would challenge it in courts of law.


The ban is likely to hit farmers and subsequently the industries dependent on it.


The vigilantism around cows, however, seems to have intensified since 2014 - the year Bharatiya Janata Party ascended to power under the leadership of Narendra Modi.


The self-styled cow vigilantes often attack cattle traders in the name of cow protection and target Muslim men on suspicion.


Many states have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter. Cow slaughter is a sensitive issue in India and often flares up communal passions.


Last month in Gujarat Wholesale New York Jets Jerseys , the home state of Modi, lawmakers of his ruling party passed a stringent law making cow slaughter and its transportation punishable with life imprisonment, the harsh measure aimed at protecting cows.
