On 27 September this year, the Tripura High Court observed that animals also have rights like human beings and banned their sacrifice in all temples. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Arindam Lodh took the decision. The decision was based on Section 21 of the Constitution of India which reads, "No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law. "
