Datar: Bone of contention now is whether stray dogs picked up should be released back in same area? ABC Rules 7 and 11...PCA Act defines 'street'...we are concerned with open space to which public has access...Madras HC has held that public has right to passage and re-passage in street, anything else is trespass...your lordships are justified in saying the dogs shall not be put back in same place. As far as public institutions, people have access. If a human being can't stay there, animals can't either. No street dog can be relocated there. It would amount to animal trespass. if a dog is removed, it can't go back there, because it had no right to be there in the first place. In ABC Rules, many terms are not defined. No definition of street dogs.
