SC Declines Urgent Hearing On Plea Against MCD Stray Dog Circular

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to urgently list an application challenging a circular reportedly issued by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) regarding the picking up of stray dogs.

The application was mentioned before a bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi, but the bench refused to take it up on priority. The judges noted that a



three-judge bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath has already reserved orders in the larger stray dog matter.

When counsel clarified that the fresh application pertained to a connected case listed tomorrow alongside the pending writ petition, Justice Maheshwari remarked, “In reserved cases, we can’t…”, indicating that the matter must await the reserved judgment.
