C Both A & B
D All of these
Answer & Explanation
Option: The rules were framed under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court asked the Centre to “delete” its three-year-old law which allowed seizure and subsequent confiscation in ‘gaushalas’ of livestock from people, who depended on these animals for a livelihood, even before they were found guilty of cruelty towards them. The rules were framed under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The Supreme Court warned the government that it would “stay” the implementation of a 2017 law, which allowed authorities to seize cattle on a mere suspicion that they suffered cruel treatment at the hands of their owners or were being primed for slaughter.
