Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi urged the Supreme Court to involve scientific and technical experts in the stray dogs case, warning against purely legal decision-making. He cautioned that interim judicial orders without domain expertise could lead to irreversible consequences, as seen in the Aravalli Hills matter.
The Calcutta High Court asked the West Bengal government and civic bodies to reply within four weeks to a PIL demanding mass sterilisation, vaccination, and shelters for stray dogs. The plea highlighted a steep rise in dog-bite cases from 23,000 in 2022 to over 76,000 in 2024.
