Licensed Fish and Meat Trader Challenges Amritsar Holy City Notification in High Court
Kuldeep Fish Company, a licensed fish and meat trader in Amritsar, has challenged the Punjab Government's December 15, 2025 notification declaring the Walled City of Amritsar a "Holy City." The notification restricts the sale and trade of fish, meat, and related products within the area. The petitioner argues these restrictions lack statutory authority, have led to sealing of business premises without proper orders, and violate constitutional rights including the right to trade, livelihood, and equality. The case raises questions about executive power limits and the need for reasonable transition measures.
