The contention of the petitioners is that the petitioners have obtained Ext.P1 licence for the dogs and therefore, they are not stray dogs, which are liable to be killed. The learned standing counsel appearing for the Corporation of Cochin submits that if the petitioners' dogs are covered by valid licence, the Corporation would not interfere. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
