The Supreme Court has directed chief secretaries of all states and Union Territories, except West Bengal and Telangana, to appear on November 3 for not filing compliance affidavits in the stray dogs case.

SC summons chief secretaries of states, UTs over missing compliance affidavits in stray dogs case

SC Summons States in Stray Dog Case

The Supreme Court has directed chief secretaries of all states and Union Territories, except West Bengal and Telangana, to appear on November 3 for not filing compliance affidavits in the stray dogs case.

The Supreme Court on Monday slammed the states and Union territories that have not filed their compliance affidavits in the stray dogs case, saying continuous incidents were happening and the country was being "shown as down" in foreign nations.
The apex court directed the chief secretaries of the states, except West Bengal and Telangana, to remain present before it on November 3 to explain why compliance affidavits were not filed despite the court's August 22 order.
The top court said except West Bengal, Telangana, and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), none of the other states and UTs have filed their compliance affidavits.
"It is October 27 today. No response, nothing. And continuous incidents are happening. Your country is being shown as down in foreign countries," a three-judge special bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and N V Anjaria said.
It noted that pursuant to the August 22 order, only three compliance affidavits were filed.
"Notices have been issued to all the states and Union territories. As they have not responded, let the chief secretaries of all the states, other than... remain present before this court next Monday at 10.30 am along with their respective explanations as to why the compliance affidavits were not filed," it said.
The bench noted that during the hearing, there was no representation from states which have not filed their affidavits.
The top court was hearing a suo motu case relating to stray dogs.
On August 22, the apex court expanded the scope of the stray dogs case beyond the confines of Delhi-NCR, and directed that all states and UTs be made parties in the matter.
It directed the municipal authorities to file an affidavit of compliance with complete statistics of resources like dog pounds, veterinarians, dog-catching personnel, and specially modified vehicles and cages available as on date for the purpose of compliance of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules.
The bench also impleaded all the states and UTs in the matter while observing that application of ABC Rules was uniform all over India.
During the hearing on Monday, when one of the advocates referred to some guidelines, the bench said, "Let the authorities come and point that out." It said notices were issued to all the states and UTs on August 22, and it was widely reported as well.
"Your officers don't read newspapers? They don't read social media? They want a formal notice to be issued to them? The order (of August 22) mentioned everything. Everyone has reported it that all states and Union territories are being issued notices. Don't come up with all these excuses," the bench said.
The top court said once the authorities were aware of the development, they should have come forward as it was a matter of public interest litigation.
It also questioned the Delhi government as to why it has not filed its compliance affidavit.
The bench said it would direct the chief secretary of Delhi to appear before it as the compliance affidavit was filed by the MCD, and not the Delhi government.
"Ask your chief secretary to remain present on November 3 along with an explanation as to why no compliance affidavit has been filed till today. You are in Delhi, the order was passed in Delhi and in your presence, and nothing has happened," the bench told the counsel appearing for Delhi government.
The counsel said Delhi government would file an affidavit before the next date of hearing.
"You ask him (chief secretary) to remain present. He may file it on that day, he may come up with an explanation also. Otherwise, cost will be imposed along with any other coercive measure as the court may deem fit," the bench observed.
When one of the lawyers referred to cruelty against stray dogs, the bench said, "What about the cruelty to humans?"
One of the advocates said the maintenance departments of high-rise societies in Delhi-NCR should be impleaded in the matter.
"Make some sensible suggestions. Give a suggestion which is practical and which can be accepted and reasonable. Don't give an absurd kind of a proposition in court," the bench said.
The top court also said that it was gradually and slowly monitoring the issue so that ultimately, the objective was achieved.
The bench said the chief secretaries should remain present before it on November 3, otherwise "we will hold the court in auditorium".
In its August 22 order, the top court modified its earlier 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 de-worming.
The bench had said that municipal authorities would continue to comply with its August 11 directions to pick up stray dogs from all localities in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad, and Gurugram, and immediately create dog shelters or pounds.
It said the August 11 direction prohibiting the release of the picked-up stray dogs shall be kept in abeyance for the time being.
It clarified that relocation should not apply to dogs infected with rabies or suspected to be infected with rabies and those displaying aggression.
A two-judge bench of the apex court on August 11 passed a slew of directions, including ordering the authorities in Delhi-NCR to start picking up stray dogs from all localities "at the earliest" and relocate the canines to dog shelters.
The suo motu case was initiated on July 28 over a media report on stray dog bites leading to rabies, particularly among children, in the national capital.

The Supreme Court modified its August 11 order on stray dogs, allowing sterilised and vaccinated canines to be released back in the same area, excluding rabid or aggressive dogs.

Supreme Court Adjusts Order on Stray Dogs

The Supreme Court modified its August 11 order on stray dogs, allowing sterilised and vaccinated canines to be released back in the same area, excluding rabid or aggressive dogs.

The Supreme Court on Friday modified its August 11 direction prohibiting release of stray dogs from dog shelters in Delhi-NCR, and said the picked up canines should be sterilised, vaccinated and released back in the same area.
A three-judge special bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath, however, said municipal authorities shall continue to comply with the direction asking them to start picking up and rounding stray dogs from all localities of Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram.
The apex court said the August 11 direction prohibiting the release of picked up stray dogs shall be kept in abeyance for the time being.
"The dogs that are picked up shall be sterilised, dewormed, vaccinated and released back in the same area from which they were picked up," the bench, also comprising Justices Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria, said.
The bench clarified this relocation shall not apply to dogs infected with rabies or suspected to be infected with rabies and those that display aggressive behaviour. It said such dogs shall be sterilised and immunised but under no circumstances should they be released back into the streets.
The bench said as far as possible, dogs infected or suspected to be infected with rabies and showing aggressive behaviour be kept in separate pounds or shelters after sterilisation and immunisation.
The bench directed the municipal authorities to forthwith commence an exercise for creating dedicated feeding spaces for stray dogs in each municipal wards.
"The feeding areas shall be created and identified keeping in view the population and concentration of stray dogs in a particular municipal ward," the bench said.
It said notice boards shall be placed near designated feeding areas mentioning that stray dogs shall only be fed in such areas.
"Under no conditions shall the feeding of stray dogs on the streets be permitted," the bench said.
It said persons found feeding stray dogs on the streets shall be liable to be proceeded with under relevant legal framework.
"The aforesaid directions are being issued in view of the reports regarding untoward incidents caused by unregulated feeding of stray dogs and to ensure that practice of feeding dogs on the roads and in public places is eliminated as the said practice creates great difficulties for the common man walking on the streets," the bench said.
It said each municipal authorities shall created a dedicated helpline number for reporting incident of violation of these directions.
It said on such a report being received, appropriate measures be taken against the individual or organisation concerned.
The top court passed the order on the interim prayer seeking a stay on some of the directions passed on August 11 by a two-judge bench.
The bench delivered its order in a suo motu case initiated on July 28 over a media report on stray dog bites leading to rabies, particularly among children, in the national capital.
The bench on Friday said no individual or organisation shall cause any hinderance or obstruction in the effective implementation of its directions.
"In case any public servant acting in compliance of the aforesaid directions is obstructed, then the violator shall be liable to face prosecution for obstructing the public servant acting in discharge of official duty," the bench said.
The apex court expanded the scope of the matter pan India and impleaded all the states and Union Territories as parties.
It also transferred to itself the pleas pending before different high courts on the issue concerning stray dogs.
The bench said it has asked its secretary general to get details from the high courts regarding similar pending matters and all those matters be transferred to the top court so that a "final national policy or decision is taken with regard to this problem".
It said each individual dog lover and each NGO that has approached the top court shall deposit Rs 25,000 and Rs two lakh respectively with the registry within seven days, failing which they shall not be allowed to appear in the matter any further.
"The amount so deposited shall be utilised in the creation of the infrastructure and facilities for the stray dogs under the aegis of the respective municipal bodies," the bench said.
It said desirous animal lovers shall be free to move application to the municipal bodies concerned for adoption of stray dogs and it shall be the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the adopted canine do not return to streets.
It directed the municipal authorities to file affidavit of compliance with complete details about resources, dog pounds, veterinarians, dog catching personnel, specially modified vehicles and cages available for the purpose of compliance with the Animal Birth Control Rules.
The bench posted the matter for hearing after eight weeks.
Widespread protests were reported across the country following the apex court's August 11 order.
Later, the matter came up for hearing on August 14 before a three-judge special bench which observed the "whole problem" of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR was a result of the "inaction" of local authorities which did "nothing" in implementing the Animal Birth Control Rules on sterilisation and immunisation of canines.

The Supreme Court refused urgent listing of a plea challenging the MCD notification on picking up stray dogs, noting that orders in the matter are already reserved.

Supreme Court Skips Urgent Discussion on Stray Dogs

The Supreme Court refused urgent listing of a plea challenging the MCD notification on picking up stray dogs, noting that orders in the matter are already reserved.

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused urgent listing of a plea challenging a notification issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi with regard to picking up of stray dogs.
A bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi declined to accord urgent hearing after a lawyer mentioned that an application has been filed in this regard.
The application submitted that MCD issued the notification despite orders having been reserved by the apex court.
The whole problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR is because of "inaction" of local authorities, the top court had said on August 14 while reserving its order on the interim prayer seeking a stay on the August 11 directions passed by the apex court.
A three-judge bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and N V Anjaria had reserved its order in the matter.

The bench had directed the authorities to immediately create dog shelters and report to it about the creation of such infrastructure within eight weeks.
It had said stray dogs would be detained in shelters and not be released on streets, colonies or public places.
