                     Judgment<\/p>\n
  Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.<\/p>\n
1.This writ petition comes to the Bench on a<\/p>\n
 reference by a learned single Judge.<\/p>\n
2.The petitioner sought directions to the first<\/p>\n
 respondent to grant permission for conducting<\/p>\n
 cattle raise named “Kannu Poottu Malsaram” in<\/p>\n
 Chithali,    Coyalmannam    Panchayat,    Alathur,<\/p>\n
 Palakkad District. The writ petition related to<\/p>\n
 the programme on 24.8.2010. The issue is referred<\/p>\n
 for consideration of the Bench as the learned<\/p>\n
 single Judge saw conflict between Exts.P3 and P5<\/p>\n
 judgments.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3.After hearing the learned counsel for the parties<\/p>\n
WPC25486\/09            -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
 quite in extenso, on different aspects of the<\/p>\n
 matter,    we  had  issued     an  interim  order  on<\/p>\n
 20.8.2010   directing   that    the  conduct  of the<\/p>\n
 programme    shall   be      only  subject   to  all<\/p>\n
 restrictions as are imposed as per Ext.P1 order<\/p>\n
 dt.31.12.2008    as  regards     the  Kottayi   Grama<\/p>\n
 Panchayat   and  also   the    guidelines  among the<\/p>\n
 directions contained in Ext.P5 as may apply to<\/p>\n
 “Kannu    Poottu  Malsaram”     which  involves  only<\/p>\n
 animals and not carts. In spite of our specific<\/p>\n
 order in that interim order that they may do so<\/p>\n
 in the event of any violation, neither the Animal<\/p>\n
 Welfare Board nor the Society of Prevention of<\/p>\n
 Cruelty to Animals(SPCA) has placed any report of<\/p>\n
 any violation of the guidelines. We, therefore,<\/p>\n
 take it that there was no violation in the matter<\/p>\n
 of conducting the programme. The Commissioner<\/p>\n
 deputed by this Court in terms of the interim<\/p>\n
 order, has also filed a report recording that<\/p>\n
 there was no violation of any of the provisions<\/p>\n
 of Prevention of Cruelties to Animals Act, 1960<\/p>\n
 or   any   of  the  other     directions  during  the<\/p>\n
 programme. That report is recorded.<\/p>\n
WPC25486\/09            -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
4.In so far as the issues of law are concerned, we<\/p>\n
 need to notice that if cattle are put to a<\/p>\n
 competition    as   part     of  any  entertainment;<\/p>\n
 different    teams  taking    some  prize  based  on<\/p>\n
 success; that would not, by itself, amount to<\/p>\n
 exhibition    in  terms     of  Chapter  V  of   the<\/p>\n
 Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The<\/p>\n
 term ‘exhibit’, going by Section 21 of that Act,<\/p>\n
 means ‘exhibit at any entertainment, to which the<\/p>\n
 public are admitted through sale of tickets’ and<\/p>\n
 ‘training’ means ‘training for the purpose of any<\/p>\n
 such    exhibition’. Therefore,    the  concepts  of<\/p>\n
 ‘exhibition’ and ‘training’ for the purpose of<\/p>\n
 that chapter have an immediate and express nexus<\/p>\n
 to   the   derivation of     funds through  sale  of<\/p>\n
 tickets for admission to view the entertainment.<\/p>\n
5.We  record   the  submission    on  behalf  of  the<\/p>\n
 petitioner that no amount whatsoever is being<\/p>\n
 collected from the public through sale of tickets<\/p>\n
 for admission to enjoy the entertainment that<\/p>\n
 would     be  generated     by  the  “Kannu   Poottu<\/p>\n
WPC25486\/09             -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
 Malsaram”.    If  that   be   so,  there can  be   no<\/p>\n
 objection     referable    to   any  requirement   to<\/p>\n
 register the animals for any performance in terms<\/p>\n
 of the Performing Animals(Registration) Rules,<\/p>\n
 2000 which rules are issued in exercise of power<\/p>\n
 under Section 38 of the Act. However, the State<\/p>\n
 and the Animal Welfare Board as the regulatory<\/p>\n
 authorities    have  to     ensure that  no   cruelty<\/p>\n
 whatsoever is meted out to the animals which<\/p>\n
 would get involved in that programme.<\/p>\n
6.We also notice that in Ext.P1, the RDO had<\/p>\n
 granted permission in so far as      Alathur Taluk is<\/p>\n
 concerned subject to certain conditions as are<\/p>\n
 evident from Ext.P1. In that view of the matter,<\/p>\n
 we are sure that if the “Kannu Poottu Malsaram”<\/p>\n
 is held in terms of the provisions of Ext.P1 and<\/p>\n
 such further directions as may be issued by the<\/p>\n
 District Collector and the RDO, ends of justice<\/p>\n
 would be satisfied. We, therefore, direct that<\/p>\n
 the following conditions shall be observed in<\/p>\n
 connection with any “Kannu Poottu Malsaram” which<\/p>\n
 will     involve  animals,    with  no  carts   being<\/p>\n
WPC25486\/09            -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
 utilized:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       1.     No stick, whether of metal or
\n       wood or cane will be used during the
\n       race,  but  only   whip  chord made of
\n       cotton or synthetic fibre of moderate
\n       size and length, with handle, will be
\n       permitted, if necessary.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       2.     The cattle\/oxen are not given
\n       alcohol  before  participation in  the
\n       race. If any oxen\/cattle is found fed
\n       with alcohol, it should not be allowed
\n       to participate in the race.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       3. The participants are not allowed to
\n       consume alcohol.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       4.Any action of twisting or biting of
\n       tales of animals by riders are not
\n       allowed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       5.None of the provisions of Prevention
\n       of Cruelty to Animals Act should be
\n       violated.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 It is further ordered that if the Animal Welfare<\/p>\n
 Board of India or the SPCA has any specific<\/p>\n
WPC25486\/09           -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
 reason to point out for requirement of additional<\/p>\n
 conditions, they will be at liberty to place such<\/p>\n
 requirement before the appropriate RDO who will<\/p>\n
 ensure that such conditions, if in conformity<\/p>\n
 with the subsisting laws and requirements, would<\/p>\n
 also be included as directions for the programmes<\/p>\n
 in the years to come. The writ petition ordered<\/p>\n
 accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                        Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,
\n                                   Judge.\n<\/p>\n
                               P.Bhavadasan,
