Sources from Chennai have stated that noting that law and order has primacy in a civilized society, the Supreme Court passed scathing remarks about how the Tamil Nadu government handled days of violence that erupted across the State amidst massive public protests favoring the bull-taming event and the court has said the violence and holding of Jallikattu events across Tamil Nadu tantamount to sheer defiance of the apex court's A. Nagaraja judgment of 2014 banning Jallikattu.



The Tamil Nadu government lawyers which was led by senior advocate K. Parasaran, has maintained that the protests were peaceful and was an evocation of the public's wish for a new Jallikattu law. The senior advocate N. Vaidyanathan asked the court "Don't the people have a fundamental right to protest?"

"To say you want to protest peacefully is one thing, but to come out in defiance of a Supreme Court judgment (A. Nagaraja verdict banning Jallikattu) is quite another," Justice Rohinton Nariman shot back. Mr. Parasaran had reasoned that the whole thing was peaceful, suddenly something happened and to this, Justice Misra retorted "Mr. Parasaran, we are now governed by the concept of rule of law. The senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, also for Tamil Nadu, has said there was no breach of the Nagaraja judgment of 2014. He has submitted that no Jallikattu event was held until the ordinance was issued recently.
