Centre halts action on banning 'ferocious' dog breeds, seeks public input amid legal challenges
The Centre informed the Bombay High Court that it has not enforced the March 2024 notification banning 23 dog breeds deemed dangerous and is inviting public feedback. The ban, challenged by an NGO, is also stayed by Calcutta and Madras HCs. An expert panel was involved in identifying these breeds. The HC postponed the case for two weeks.
