The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear the petition immediately, which challenged the notification issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) regarding the capture of stray dogs. The matter was presented before a bench of Justice J.K. Maheshwari and Justice Vijay Bishnoi, but the court clearly refused to list it immediately.
The petition said that the MCD issued this notification when the Supreme Court had already reserved the order on this matter. The petitioner argued that this move of the Municipal Corporation is going to affect the proceedings of the court. Despite this, the court refused to hear it. It is worth noting that on August 11, the Supreme Court had issued several instructions on the increasing problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR and ordered the local bodies to take action.
Strict comments of the Supreme Court
During the hearing on August 14, the Supreme Court had said that the problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR is the result of the inaction of the local administration. The court also clarified that this problem is not limited to the safety of people but is also related to public health, especially the increasing cases of rabies in children. In this context, the court had reserved the order.
In order to build shelter homes for dogs
On August 11, a bench of Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan had ordered the immediate capture of stray dogs from all colonies and public places in Delhi-NCR and shifting them to dog shelters. The court had said that the local administration will have to build an adequate number of dog shelters within eight weeks and submit a report on this to the court. The court had also directed that the captured dogs would not be released on the streets again.
Concern about rabies and the safety of children
This case was initiated by the Supreme Court on July 28 by taking suo motu cognizance. This issue came before the court when the severity of rabies cases in children started increasing due to stray dog bites. The court made it clear that this is not just an issue of administrative negligence but is directly related to the life and safety of citizens. The issuance of notification by MCD despite court directions is now giving rise to new controversy.
