The Bombay High Court directed the Mumbai civic body today to prepare a regulatory mechanism to streamline the process of granting permission for animal slaughter for Bakr-Eid from the next year, days after the authorities were forced to temporarily suspend the system for online permission following glaring errors.

A bench led by acting Chief Justice Naresh Patil said such mechanism will not only regulate and simplify the process of granting permission but, it will also put an end to the last minute litigations that courts witnesses each year before the Muslim festival.
