Thrissur Pooram: SC tells organisers to adhere to 2012 Kerala Captive Elephants Rules
The Statesman Delhi|December 20, 2024
Terming the restrictions as "impractical", the Supreme Court on Thursday put on hold the Kerala High Court's order on the use of elephants and observing distances between them, the public, flambeau, and the percussion display during festival parades, including the 'Thrissur Pooram'.
PARMOD KUMAR

Stating that any direction issued by the High Court contrary to the Kerala Captive Elephants (Management and Maintenance) Rules, 2012 would remain stayed, a bench of Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice NK Singh asked the Management Committees of Thiruvambady and Paramekkavu Devaswoms—the two major participants of the 'Thrissur Pooram'—to strictly adhere to the 2012 Rules during the 'annual temple festival' in Thrissur.

During the hearing, the bench observed that the High Court's directions were "impractical" and asked how the High Court could frame rules, substituting itself for the rule-making authority.
