The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on Monday a plea by Jammu and Kashmir government against High Court orders on beef ban in the State. The government claimed before the apex court that the orders were being misused to disturb peace.<br/><br/><br/>While the Jammu bench of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court had ordered enforcement of the ban on the sale of beef in the State, the Srinagar bench scrapped the law that barred slaughter of bovine animals. <br/><br/>Highlighting what he called inconsistency in the orders, senior advocate Amarendra Sharan, appearing for the state government, mentioned the matter before a bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu and sought an urgent hearing. In its special leave petition moved before the apex court, the State said, the High Court's orders are conflicting and have grave ramifications for the law and order situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
