The supreme court asked the centre to either withdraw
or modify the prevention of cruelty to animals (care and
maintenance of animals) rules 2017 framed under the
prevention of cruelty to animals act 2016.
A plea from the buffalo traders association challenged
the constitutional validity of the 2017 rules. It is argued
that the rules are too stringent and unfair for animal
traders.
On the other hand the additional solicitor general
representing the centre defended that the rules were
notified to prevent atrocities on the animals.
