Ranchi, Dec. 26: National council of Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad, an advocate association having faith in the ideology of RSS, today took a resolution for the implementation of Supreme Court judgment in the Samatha Case for the Vth Schedule area.

?The Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad demands that all the state governments should implement the spirit of the Samatha judgment while signing the MoUs with the proposed exploiters of minerals,? the advocates? body resolved.

Parishad members, including retired justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court, Justice S. Parvatha Rao, were of the opinion that in the name of development and rapid industrialisation, a large number of ?Vanvasis? were being driven out of the hills and forest areas. This inhuman treatment meted out to the Vanvasi, according to them, was in violation of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and against the Supreme Court judgment of Samatha vs State of Andhra Pradesh.

The advocates? body also resolved to impose total ban on the slaughter of cows. ?All the states or the Unions should enact necessary legislation for totally banning the slaughter of cows and cow progeny (including oxen of all ages) throughout the country,? said the advocate body.

The advocate body was of the opinion that it was a must to ban slaughter of cows in the light of recent seven judges? bench judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Gujarat vs M.M. Kureshi Kassab Jamat reported in 2005 (8) SCC 534.

The advocates? body also stressed on the need of ?anti-conversion laws? and their strict implementation, taking serious note of the fact that various missionary organisations were resorting to large-scale conversions of poor, disadvantaged, innocent and uneducated scheduled tribes.

The meeting was attended by the governor of Himachal Pradesh, Vishnu Sadashiv Koje, besides 150 advocates from across the country.
