New Delhi. In the case related to stray dogs in Delhi-NCR, the Supreme Court has given a new verdict by changing its old order. The court said that after sterilization and vaccination, the dogs should be released back from the shelter home from where they were caught. However, dogs who are violent, rabies or sick should be kept in the shelter home. The court also said that dogs should not be fed food in any public place. For this, one place should be identified in every ward. Also, the Supreme Court has issued notice to all the states including Delhi.
A three -judge bench of the Supreme Court has also advocated enacting laws in this regard. The court also issued a directive to start the helpline to file a complaint against those who violated the rules. The Supreme Court made it clear that action will also be taken on those who give food to dogs in public places. Apart from this, if a person hinders the work of the team catching dogs, then a fine of 25 thousand will be imposed on the NGO doing so. The bench of Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice NV Anjaria reserved the verdict in the matter on 14 August.
Earlier Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R.K. The bench of Mahadevan, taking automatic cognizance of the incidents of stray dogs being cut by stray dogs, instructed all unclaimed dogs to be kept in the dog shelter. It was given 8 weeks for this. The court also said that dogs should not be released from dog shelter. A review petition was filed by animal lovers against this order, after which a new order has now come.
