J U D G M E N T In the matter of implementation of Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, it is seen that this Court has passed Exhibit P8 judgment. Learned senior counsel submits that the directions in the judgment are strictly complied with. However, learned counsel for the second respondent submits that he happened to approach the first respondent only in view of Exhibit P2 reply wherein it is stated that it is not possible for the petitioner to take steps for the immunization of stray dogs as mentioned in Exhibit P5. 2. Be that as it may, it is made clear that since this Court has issued directions to similarly situated Corporation in the matter of implementation of the rules, the petitioner-Corporation also shall strictly implement the directions contained in Exhibit P8 judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp KURIAN JOSEPH, J. W.P.(C) No. 14551 OF 2005 J U D G M E N T 15.10.2008
