Supreme Court Criticizes Maneka Gandhi Over Remarks on Stray Dog Orders

The Supreme Court expressed strong displeasure with former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi over her public criticism of its orders on stray dog management, stating she committed contempt of court. The bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and NV Anjaria noted Gandhi's remarks and body language during a podcast, but refrained from initiating contempt proceedings citing magnanimity. The court questioned her lawyer about her contributions to budgetary allocations for stray dog issues. The hearing on the matter is ongoing, with the court emphasizing the seriousness of holding dog feeders accountable and addressing implementation gaps in stray dog control measures.
