Meghalaya High Court Recalls Order Asking Supreme Court Nod To Continue Stray Dogs PIL

The Meghalaya High Court has withdrawn its earlier order directing the Registrar General to seek permission from the Supreme Court to continue hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) relating to stray dogs. 

A Bench of Acting Chief Justice H.S. Thangkhiew and Justice W. Diengdoh recalled the order on September 26 following a request from the State Government.

The Court has directed the Registry to transmit the PIL records to the Supreme Court in compliance with the Apex Court’s August 22 transfer order, which mandated transfer of stray dog–related cases from all High Courts. The matter will now be heard by the Supreme Court for consolidated consideration.
