Appeal against the same was filed stating that the High Court’s judgment was violative of a 2015 Supreme Court order directing courts not to pass any order relating to dogs and the Animal Birth Control Rules (ABC Rules) pertaining to dogs.
“SLP (C) 691/2009 together with several connected petitions (including WP(C) 319/2020 filed by the current petitioners) is currently pending final hearing by this Hon’ble Court and the court has specifically asked High Courts not to pass any order or judgments, relating to dogs, the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and ABC Rules and related issues of their feeding in public places as a means to implement the ABC Rules,” the plea stated.
It was further contended that the petitioners before the Delhi High Court had intentionally and mischievously withheld information from the High Court and consequently, judgment of the High Court was based upon several blatantly misleading, irrelevant and factually incorrect statements and misinformation.
