Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Wednesday assured that he would “look into” concerns raised over the Supreme Court’s recent directive to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR streets, after a lawyer cited an earlier judgment protecting community dogs from indiscriminate killing.
A lawyer mentioned the issue before CJI BR Gavai, objecting to the August 11 order directing the removal of all stray dogs from public spaces in Delhi-NCR.
“This is with regard to the community dogs issue. There is an earlier judgment of this court which says there cannot be indiscriminate killing of canines, of which Justice Karol was a part,” the advocate said. Responding to the submission, CJI Gavai said, “But the other judge bench has already passed orders. I will look into this.”
