<h1>Beef export and cow status dispute: religious leader demands export ban and formal national status declaration, while administrative notice cites pending appeal</h1> A religious seer urged the state government to ban export of cow meat and formally declare the cow as a national mother to demonstrate commitment to cow protection; this is a political-religious demand with regulatory effect if adopted. Administrative authorities restricted the seers access at a religious festival on crowd-control grounds and issued a notice challenging his use of a Shankaracharya title, citing a pending civil appeal in the SC that bars consecration until disposal; that interim prohibition directly affects recognition and ceremonial status. The dispute thus raises issues of public order, administrative regulation of religious events, and the effect of an interim court prohibition on religious titles.
