HC directs Tiruchi district administration to file status report
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday directed Tiruchi district administration to file a status report on a public interest litigation petition that sought a direction to the authorities to carry out sterilisation of stray dogs, vaccinate them against rabies and provide them proper shelter with food and drinking water.
A Division Bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and P. Velmurugan sought a report from the authorities on a petition filed by P. Kannaiyan, a retired police officer from Tiruchi, who claimed to be an animal lover actively involved in the welfare of stray dogs.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
