Case: Dr. C.P. Abdul Kabeer v. Union Territory of Lakshadweep & Ors.
Coram: Chief Justice S. Manikumar and Justice Shaji P. Chaly
Case No.: WP(C) NO. 1582 OF 2022
Court Observation: “Having regard to the plight of the birds and animals without getting any treatment as evidenced from Exhibits P3, P4 and P5 office orders and the representations dated 30.09.2021, 09.10.2021 and 06.10.2021 submitted by the petitioner, we direct the Director (Animal Husbandry), respondent No.4, to initiate and finalise the appointment of the above said surgeons and staff on contract basis under the above said scheme by utilising the fund, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sufficient allocation and permission be granted by the competent authority, if not done earlier.”
“The inaction by the Administration to make alternative arrangements to engage veterinary doctors is clearly against the non-human rights and animal rights as well as fundamental and legal rights of the inhabitants.”
“Lack of medical care to non-humans, in turn, affects the health of human beings resulting in contagious and other diseases to human beings and amounts to a violation of the fundamental right to proper health care of inhabitants and citizens enshrined under Articles 21 and 14 of the Constitution of India,”
