By Krishnadas RajagopalThe Supreme Court on Monday stayed a Madras High Court notice to former Supreme Court judge, Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan, the author of a 2014 judgment banning jallikattu, for accepting the ‘Man of the Year’ award conferred on him by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
A Bench of Chief Justice of India J.S. Khehar and Justice N.V. Ramana further issued notice to Salai Chakrapani, a jallikattu enthusiast, who filed the petition against the former Supreme Court judge.
Justice Radhakrishnan contended there was no constitutional bar on him on receiving such an award after retirement as Supreme Court judge.
