Update on the dog feeding matters - please read the trailing mail, and the attached Guidelines. The Guidelines have been accepted by the Court (in Delhi), and can be used in dispute situations (pages 2 & 3).
The Court had studied the attached Guidelines framed by the Board, and filed by us. They were accepted in entirety. However, since in the 6 colonies to which the petitioners before the Court belong - Saket, Vasant Kunj, Kalkaji, Geeta Colony, Neb Sarai, Shastri Nagar - dispute situations had arisen out of the feeding of dogs, the Court directed the AWBI to actually designate spots in those colonies within 6 weeks, in accordance with the Guidelines for the feeding of dogs.
What is pertinent is that the Court has made it clear that the AWBI is to have final say. The aspect of consultation with the RWAs, area SHOs, etc. no longer finds mention in the order. After designating spots, the AWBI is simply to share the information with all concerned, including the RWAs and area SHOs. The Court has also suggested that boards be put up by the AWBI at the designated dog feeding spots - as many as are necessary - so that the residents feeding dogs at those spots are not harassed by anyone.
The matter is next posted on the 10th of May, 2010. On the next date we shall try for additional observations : that feeding in front of one's own house, or the house of a resident who doesn't object to feeding, cannot be objected to by anyone else.
When the Court order is available, I shall circulate the same.
