(Page 91, Paras 75–76)

(Pages 50–58, Paras 41–49; Pages 76–78, Paras 61–62)
3) SC held that institutional and restricted-access areas such as schools, colleges, hospitals, sports complexes, airports, railway stations, bus depots and similar establishments cannot be subjected to compulsory re-release under Rule 11(19) of ABC Rules, 2023.
(Pages 52–58, Paras 43–49; Page 91, Para 75)

(Pages 89–90, Paras 73–74)
5) Supreme Court held that Rule 11(19) regarding “same locality” cannot be interpreted expansively and must be confined only to public-access areas contemplated under Section 2(i) of PCA Act, 1960.
(Pages 54–55, Paras 44–45)
6) SC expressly held that “gated campus” under Rule 7(2) cannot be interpreted to legitimise stray dog presence in sensitive or controlled-access premises.

9) SC clarified that its directions do not override the statutory framework but “supplement, clarify and operationalise” the ABC Rules in a constitutionally workable manner.
(Page 78, Para 62)
10) Supreme Court has made it clear that authorities cannot avoid implementation on grounds of administrative difficulty where public safety and human life are at stake.
(Pages 71–72, Paras 55–56)
What you can do:
a. Document stray dog menace, attacks, illegal feeding or non-compliance and file complaints before Municipal Authorities/Police Authorities citing the Supreme Court judgment.
b. Take photographs/videos of violations and obstruction of court directions. Documentation of public activities is not an offence.
c. Approach jurisdictional High Courts in cases of non-compliance or continued threat to public safety.
