through her life. The cow is vital to life and sustenance. She is a symbol of grace and
abundance, and embodies the virtues of gentle selflessness. The cow is a uniquely

legal sense.
31. Environment Ministry bans multidose vial of Diclofenac to save vultures:
Keeping in view the severity of the situation and the need to conserve and protect
vultures from extinction, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change
has requested the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to restrict the pack of
Diclofenac for human use in single dose only. Earlier, the Ministry of Environment,
Forest and Climate Change, in consultation with the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, published a Gazette notification no G.S.R 558 (E) dated 17th July, 2015,
regarding the restriction on packaging of multi-dose vial of Diclofenac to single dose
for human use. Even after banning the use of Diclofenac for veterinary use, the
multi-dose vials available in the market for human use were widely misused for
veterinary purpose. This, in turn, has a severe impact on the population of vultures.
The commonly-used anti-inflammatory drug for cattle is considered the chief cause
for the steep decline in the number of vultures in recent years. The drug is harmless
to the cattle it is administered to, but is fatal for the vultures, who routinely feed on
the carcass of dead cattle. Studies have shown that the drug causes kidney and liver
failure in vultures.
Earlier, in 2006, the Government of India had imposed a ban on the use of
Diclofenac for treating cattle.
32. In a bid to control illegal slaughter of animals on Eid ul-Zuha or Bakrid, the
environment ministry has asked all state governments to ensure that no illegal
killing of animals, including cows, takes place, and that animals are not subjected to
cruelty during transportation. It is a fact that large numbers of animals are
slaughtered during Bakrid festival. Kindly note that as per Rule 3 of the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals Rules, 2001, no person shall slaughter any animal within a
municipal area except in a slaughter house recognized or licensed by the authority
concerned, read a letter sent by the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) to all
states ahead of Bakrid, no animal which is pregnant, has an offspring less than
three months old or is under three months of age and has not been certified by a
veterinary doctor to be in a fit condition to be slaughtered shall be slaughtered, the
letter said. Bakrid is one of the major festivals of Muslims, during which animals
are sacrificed. AWBI, which is under the environment ministrys control, also asked
states to ensure that animals are not subjected to any cruelty during transportation.
It is reported that during the transportation of animals, the owners of the animals
do not follow the animal welfare laws and Transport of Animal Rules, which
prescribe the number of animals which can be transported in a vehicle, resulting in
cruelty to animals. It is noticed that the animals suffer and are subjected to various
cruelties and some of the animals even die during transportation, the letter said.
The AWBI directive clarified that camels cannot be slaughtered. Camels cannot
be slaughtered for food at all. Also wherever the cow slaughter prohibition act is in
force, slaughtering of cows should not be allowed at all, the letter said. The animal
welfare board, a statutory advisory body on animal welfare laws, urged states to
strictly enforce animal welfare legislation. Quoting several Supreme Court
judgments relating to animal welfare, AWBI asked states to direct all the
authorities concerned to take all precautionary measures to strictly implement the
animal welfare laws to stop illegal killing of animals and to take stringent action
against the offenders It asked states to inform it of action taken on the directive,
hence it is prayed that what action you have taken, to comply with the said
instructions.
33. Stubble burning needs immediate attention, prohibiting Combine Machine Interstate movement.
34. Right to water and sanitation: On 28 July 2010, through Resolution 64/292, the
United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water
and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are
essential to the realisation of all human rights. The Resolution calls upon States and
international organisations to provide financial resources, help capacity-building
and technology transfer to help countries, in particular developing countries, to
provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable drinking water and sanitation for all.
In November 2002, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
adopted General Comment No. 15 on the right to water. Article I.1 states that "The
human right to water is indispensable for leading a life in human dignity. It is a
prerequisite for the realization of other human rights". Comment No. 15 also
defined the right to water as the right of everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable and
physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses.
35. IPC 268: Public nuisance.A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act
or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or
annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in
the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger or
annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common
nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.

Extracts of some Paras of Supreme Court order dated 7.5.2014 in SLP (C) No.11686 of
2007
Para 77: We, therefore, hold that AWBI is right in its stand that Jallikattu, Bullock-cart
Race and such events per se violate Sections 3, 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(m)(ii) of PCA Act
and hence we uphold the notification dated 11.7.2011 issued by the Central
Government, consequently, Bulls cannot be used as performing animals, either for the
Jallikattu events or Bullock-cart Races in the State of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra or
elsewhere in the country. We, therefore, make the following declarations and
directions:
(1) We declare that the rights guaranteed to the Bulls under Sections 3 and 11 of PCA
Act read with Articles 51A(g) & (h) are cannot be taken away or curtailed, except
under Sections 11(3) and 28 of PCA Act.
(2) We declare that the five freedoms, referred to earlier be read into Sections 3 and 11
of PCA Act, be protected and safeguarded by the States, Central Government, Union
Territories (in short Governments), MoEF and AWBI.
(3) AWBI and Governments are directed to take appropriate steps to see that the
persons-in-charge or care of animals, take reasonable measures to ensure the wellbeing of animals.
(4) AWBI and Governments are directed to take steps to prevent the infliction of
unnecessary pain or suffering on the animals, since their rights have been statutorily
protected under Sections 3 and 11 of PCA Act.
(5) AWBI is also directed to ensure that the provisions of Section 11(1)(m)(ii)
scrupulously followed, meaning thereby, that the person-in-charge or care of the
animal shall not incite any animal to fight against a human being or another animal.
(6) AWBI and the Governments would also see that even in cases where Section 11(3)
is involved, the animals be not put to unnecessary pain and suffering and adequate
and scientific methods be adopted to achieve the same.
(7) AWBI and the Governments should take steps to impart education in relation to
human treatment of animals in accordance with Section 9(k) inculcating the spirit of
Articles 51A(g) & (h) of the Constitution.
(8) Parliament is expected to make proper amendment of the PCA Act to provide an
effective deterrent to achieve the object and purpose of the Act and for violation of
Section 11, adequate penalties and punishments should be imposed.
(9) Parliament, it is expected, would elevate rights of animals to that of constitutional
rights, as done by many of the countries around the world, so as to protect their dignity
and honour.
(10) The Governments would see that if the provisions of the PCA Act and the
declarations and the directions issued by this Court are not properly and effectively
complied with, disciplinary action be taken against the erring officials so that the
purpose and object of PCA Act could be achieved.
(11) TNRJ Act is found repugnant to PCA Act, which is a welfare legislation, hence
held constitutionally void, being violative of Article 254(1) of the Constitution of India.
(12) AWBI is directed to take effective and speedy steps to implement the provisions of
PCA Act in consultation with SPCA and make periodical reports to the Governments
and if any violation is noticed, the Governments should take steps to remedy the same,
