The Supreme Court yesterday while hearing the suo motu case initiated over stray dogs remarked that Goa and Kerala tourist was getting affected due to the presence of stray dogs on their beaches. Notably, Senior Advocate Gaurav Aggarwal who is assisting the court as Amicus Curiae told the Bench that stray dogs picked up from beaches cannot be released back there. The Bench noted "vague" affidavits were filed by some States and Union Territories with regard to its earlier directions to remove stray dogs from public places. The Court had indicated that it may soon fix liability on state authorities and dog feeders for injuries and deaths caused by stray dog attacks, as the long-running Stray Dogs case. Previously, the Bench had examined the issue of stray dogs in institutional and residential premises, with intervenors seeking modifications to the Court’s earlier directions.
