The ban had invited criticism from several quarters including slaughterhouse owners, states like Kerala and West Bengal, and farmers who opposed the restrictiction of trade in markets only to animals meant for agricultural use. The states had objected to the ban, stating it related to an issue under their jurisdiction.&nbsp;

The government had asked the states for their opinion on their notification in September.

In May, the Madras High Court granted an interim stay on the implementation of the rules.

In July, the Supreme Court had stayed the ban on the sale of cattle for slaughter to the entire country.
