The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
Looks like the well-protected “animal lovers” living their safe cocooned life in the ivory towers will make sure that the common man struggling to keep his and family alive and safe from the strays do not get any respite.
The likes of rich socialites and Bollywood actors should not be considered as stakeholders in this as they never face any problems with the strays. If they are really worried, as they have the means, in particular the bollywood actors, can build state-of-art shelters for the strays, keep them there and shower all their affection. But please do not play with the lives of common citizens who have to battle with so many things just to stay alive.
All stray dogs in Delhi/NCR should be rounded up and released into the official residence of the CJI. The honourable justice, with his infinite wisdom, would surely be able to understand the danger and threat they pose to human beings in minutes.
That said, all these animal lovers also need some tough love from the court. Maybe they can be rounded up too and lodged in dog shelters for a day along with their beloved strays. A single day spent with stray dogs should be enough to put some sense into them.
