'Basic Biology Tells Us Dogs, Cats Not Humans': Bombay HC in Case of Swiggy Agent Accidentally Killing Canine

News 18  

A division bench of Bombay High Court comprising Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan has quashed an FIR against a 20-year-old Swiggy delivery partner for allegedly accidentally killing a street dog while delivering food. Sections 279 and 337 of the Indian Penal Code pertains to acts endangering human life, or likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person. Thus, insofar as the injury/death caused to the pet / animal is concerned, the same would not constitute offenses under Sections 279 & 337 of the Indian Penal Code,” it said. While noting that the act of registering FIR by police defies logic, the court observed, “The application of these Sections by the Marine Drive Police clearly shows non-application of mind.
