Stray Menace: Can't Do Much Due To Legal Roadblocks, Cops Tell HC
Nagpur: The city police have informed the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court that while they are attempting to act on repeated judicial directives to contain the city's growing stray dog menace, existing legal provisions bar them from taking any action involving killing or culling of strays, rendering enforcement efforts largely ineffective. In an affidavit submitted on Friday, deputy commissioner of police (headquarters) Ashwini S Patil stated, "Due to the prohibition on destruction or killing of dogs, it is not possible to implement Section 44 of the Maharashtra Police Act in its true spirit." Section 44 of the Maharashtra Police Act allows police to seize or destroy stray dogs found in public places without muzzles or owner identification. However, it protects dogs wearing identifiable collars and restricts immediate action unless the animal is confirmed to be rabid. Patil reiterated that this section, though well-intended, remains toothless without changes in national and state-level regulations prohibiting destruction of dogs. The affidavit was filed in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by social activist Vijay Talewar and community representative Manoj Shakya, who have sought a coordinated and sustained crackdown on stray dog attacks in the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo Represented by senior counsel Firdos Mirza, the petitioners cited the rising number of incidents, including a recent tragic case in which a minor boy in Kalamna fell from the sixth floor of a building while attempting to flee a stray dog. During the last hearing on July 14, a division bench comprising justices Anil Kilor and Manohar Nerlikar strongly rebuked both, the police and municipal authorities, for inaction. "How many times must we repeat ourselves?" the judges remarked, taking note of the fatal incident highlighted by Mirza. He warned that continued negligence could result in more avoidable deaths. To comply with court directives, the police issued circulars on November 28, 2022, deputing an assistant commissioner of police to coordinate with the Animal Birth Control (Dog) Rules, 2001 committee. The circulars also outlined awareness initiatives aimed at public cooperation in reporting and managing stray dogs. Despite these measures, the affidavit emphasised that the core obstacle remains the legal bar on killing strays, making it difficult to act beyond basic coordination or detainment. Talewar and Shakya, representing the Ramdaspeth Durga Pooja Utsav Mandal and Kachipura Kushwaha Samaj respectively, have urged the court to issue clear instructions to authorities, arguing that ambiguity in law must not be allowed to compromise public safety.
