THE Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city government and the NDMC (New Delhi Municipal Corporation) to file a response on a plea seeking ₹50 lakh compensation for the death of a one-and-a-half-yearold girl who was allegedly mauled by a pack of dogs in Dhobi Ghat area of Tughlaq Lane here last month.

The high court said prima facie there was failure on part of the authorities on their obligations under the Animal Birth Control Rules and a case of compensation was made out.

The court was hearing a petition by the child's father seeking ₹50 lakh compensation for her death. According to the plea, the toddler was sitting outside her house when four to five dogs allegedly attacked her and dragged her for several metres.

Justice Subramonium Prasad perused the statement of a head constable, a witness, and said it revealed that the child was attacked by the stray dogs in the area.
