The Supreme Court today questioned the conduct of people and organisations feeding stray dogs in public places, asking whether compassion is limited to animals and not extended to humans.
The court raised concerns over accountability, asking who would be responsible if a child were killed in a stray dog attack.
After three days of intense hearings last week, the Bench continued examining the issue of stray dogs in institutional premises and the failure of municipal bodies to effectively implement sterilisation and control measures.
The matter will now be taken up for further hearing on January 20.
The Bench hinted at imposing compensation for every incident of dog bite or fatal attack. The Court expressed frustration over repeated submissions and lack of concrete solutions.
