Stray Dog Case Judgment Pronouncement : Live Updates From Supreme Court

The Supreme Court will pronounce its judgment today in the suo motu case taken on the stray dog issue.

A bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice NV Anjaria had heard the matter. In November last year, the bench had passed a slew of directions to the authorities to ensure the removal of stray dogs from public places such as schools, hospitals, bus stands, railway stations, and sports complexes. The Court directed that the dogs must be shifted to shelters, and must not be released back to the same place from where they were picked.

The bench had also issued directions banning the feeding of dogs in streets, except in designated feeding spots.

Later, several applications were filed by dog lovers and animal rights groups to recall these directions. After elaborately hearing these applications, the bench reserved judgment on January 29.
