The Supreme Court has directed the mandatory covered disposal of leftover food after a noticeable rise in stray dogs roaming the corridors and even entering lifts within the court complex.

Observing that such incidents have increased significantly in and around the premises, the court administration issued an immediate directive aimed at addressing the problem. Under the new order, all leftover food must be discarded only in properly covered dustbins, with a strict ban on the dumping food in open areas or uncovered containers.

The measure is intended to prevent animals from being drawn to the premises in search of food, thereby reducing the risk of dog bites and ensuring better hygiene standards across the complex.
