The Supreme Court on April 24 said it was not shying away from dealing with the issue relating to orders passed by various civic bodies regarding stray dogs, especially in Kerala and Mumbai, but it will not allow the scope of the matter under consideration to be expanded.
The apex court observed that the parties before it should go through the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 as many of the issues raised before it may get resolved.
"Let us also clarify one thing. We are not shying away from dealing with the issue but we will not allow the scope to be expanded," a Bench of justices J.K. Maheshwari and Sanjay Karol said.
