SC Modifies Its 'Harsh' Direction on Stray Dogs

Orders Release of Stray Dogs Post Sterilisation, Directs States and UTs to Be Made Parties in the Matter

- 

The Supreme Court on Friday modified its direction prohibiting the release of vaccinated stray dogs from pounds in Delhi-NCR, calling it "too harsh," and ordered the canines to be released post-sterilisation and deworming. A three-judge special bench headed by Justice Vikarm Nath expanded the scope of the stray dogs case beyond the confines of Delhi-NCR and directed all states and UTs to be made parties in the matter.
