New Delhi: In a stern move, the Supreme Court of India on Monday ordered the Chief Secretaries of all States, except West Bengal, Delhi, and Telangana, to personally appear before it on November 3 for failing to submit compliance reports regarding the implementation of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023 in the ongoing stray dog management case.

A bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and NV Anjaria expressed strong dissatisfaction with several States’ non-compliance, remarking that despite widespread media coverage, officials had shown negligence in responding to court directives.

“Didn’t the officers read newspapers or social media? Haven’t they read… even if they are not served they should have been here. All Chief Secretaries to be present here on November 3… We will hold court in auditorium,” the bench observed, signaling its frustration over the lack of seriousness shown by State authorities.

The apex court noted that only three States — West Bengal, Delhi, and Telangana — have submitted their affidavits confirming action taken under the ABC Rules. The remaining States have failed to do so, despite being directed earlier to submit detailed reports on measures adopted to control the stray dog population humanely.

The Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, aim to regulate stray animal management through sterilisation, vaccination, and prevention of cruelty. The rules also emphasise coordination between local bodies and animal welfare organisations to ensure safety for both animals and citizens.
