The Gujarat High Court on Friday struck down the state government's notification declaring a 'vegetarian zone' within a 500-metre radius around the Somnath temple. The court allowed petitions by seven restaurant owners who challenged the ban on selling, storing, distributing, and preparing non-vegetarian food, citing infringement of their fundamental rights under Article 19(1)(g). The court noted the restriction would harm their livelihood.
