Animal Welfare Board of India and Central Zoo Authority told to reply in 3 weeks
The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) to respond to a plea by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), seeking to issue show-cause notices to several circuses and cancel their registration certificates due to alleged violations committed by them.
A Bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli asked the AWBI and the CZA to file detailed replies within three weeks, and posted the case for further hearing on February 25.
