Supreme Court Rules on Stray Dogs in Delhi-NCR: Key Decisions and Implications

The Supreme Court has delivered a crucial ruling concerning stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region, addressing multiple petitions that contested a previous order. The court has suspended its August 11 directive, which originally mandated the relocation of stray dogs within eight weeks. The revised ruling allows for the collection of stray dogs, but specifies that they must be released after sterilization. This release is contingent upon the dogs being free from rabies and exhibiting non-aggressive behavior. The initial order had sparked widespread protests in Delhi and other parts of India.
