Gujarat High Court pulls up State government for "slow peddling" against the illegal meat shops in various cities, especially Ahmedabad and Surat.

Bench of Chief Justice Ashutosh Kumar and Justice Ashutosh J Shastri expressed displeasure over State's "action taken" report.
Bench is not satisfied with the manner in which action is taken in Ahmedabad. It notes that of 29 shops running without licences, only 15 have been sealed.

CJ: What about the rest? Are you not serious about this issue? Do you know the consequences?

#GujaratHighCourt
CJ: We are concerned even if a single shop is running without licence. Food poisoning would take place at any shops. Do you know the consequences of this? Large number of people can fall ill. Who shall be made responsible?
