A Supreme Court vacation bench of Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice Ashok Bhushan, in Animal Welfare Board Of India v People For Elimination Of Stray Troubles, on Friday refused to issue notice on a plea against the rampant culling of stray dogs in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Senior counsel Vibha Dutt Makhija, appearing on behalf of applicant Animal Welfare Board Of India, vehemently urged, “Dogs have been illegally culled because of the fear psychosis created by misrepresentation at the behest of the district administration.a particular district collector issued a statement imputing the deaths to the dogs.however, all witnesses have asserted that the deaths were caused by wild animals.these animals have begun to enter the territories as they are no longer guarded by the dogs.a committee appointed has also concluded that none of the dogs are rabid or have caused any deaths.” “There are various legalities and two distinct orders of this court that the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act of 1960 shall prevail over local laws.what I am praying for is the same interim direction issued to the state of Kerala.,” she continued. In July last year, the Supreme Court had, in an SLP titled Animal Welfare Board of India v. Elimination of Stray Troubles and other connected matters, observed that “the principal issue of law, that is, whether the State and local municipal law shall prevail or the Birth Control Rules of 2001 would prevail shall be decided first”.
