‘model bill’ on Cow-slaughter
New Delhi (Agencies): The Prime Minister’s Office has secretly sought Law Ministry’s opinion on whether the Centre could circulate the laws on cow slaughter as enacted by some states as model bill among other states for their consideration for similar legislations there, even as Haryana minister Om Parkash Dhankar said on Sunday that the state is all set to introduce a Bill for "protection and upkeep" of cows in the Assembly.

In a letter to the legal arm of the government, the PMO has referred to a similar provision in the Constitution that provides prohibition of slaughter of cows and milch animals. Article 48 of the Constitution says that “the state shall endeavour to organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines and shall, in particular, take steps for preserving and improving the breeds, and prohibiting the slaughter of cows and calves and other milch and draught cattle.”The letter, sent recently, asked the Law Ministry to “examine and advice” whether the Acts enacted by a few states can be circulated as model bill to other states so that they can “exercise their choice of consideration to introduce similar enactments”.
Meanwhile, citing past precedents where laws on various matters were circulated among the states as model bill, sources in the government said there was no bar on the Centre to send such a bill to states.A draft model bill on flood zone protection, conservation and regulation of groundwater are some of the measures that have been sent to states recently by the Ministry of Water Resources and Planning Commission and these have been used by various state governments to enact their own laws.
