New Delhi, February 3 2009
From stray dogs to pedigree varieties that sashay at dog shows, the canine family seems to be having a field day of late, that too at the Supreme Court.
Within days of an NGO obtaining an SC stay on the Mumbai civic body chasing and killing stray dogs that are a nuisance, a dog farm today approached the apex court and obtained permission for fielding its dogs at the prestigious shows conducted by the Kennel Club of India.
A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan today allowed the petitioners, KS Nagaraj Shetty and N Kaplana Shetty of Karnataka, to exhibit their dogs till February 16 at the dog shows of Kennel Club.
One R Gopinath, claiming to be a dog lover who attends the club’s dog shows, had secured an interim injunction from a Chennai court against the petitioners, expressing the fear that the appellants’ dogs might cause “irreparable injury”.
The Shettys, owners of Agrani Kennels, obtained a stay from the Madras High Court, which however vacated it later. The Shettys then came to the apex court.
When senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi made a mention about the petition, the CJI, perhaps with the street dogs case fresh in his mind, made a remark: “I thought, we deal with law here,” prompting the courtroom to burst into laughter.
According to the petition, the dogs of Agrani Kennels have won the “Dog of the Year” award for three consecutive years, from 2004-2007.

आपका यह प्रयास प्रशंशनीय है। किन्तु मेरा एक निवेदन है कि जब तक कानून सम्बन्धी जानकारी हिन्दी आदि जनभाषों में नहीं होगी तब तक इसकी सार्थकता संदिग्ध (doubtful) है।
निवेदन है कि हिन्दी में भी इस तरह के कुछ लेख अवश्य लिखें; अथवा एक अन्य ब्लाग शुरू करें जिसमें केवल हिन्दी में ही जानकारी हो।
