A.Dear Sir,
If your dog is not dangerous and you undertake to safeguard all the inmates of the hostel then you may be allowed. It is not exclusive residential place but it is situated within hostel premises as such the Courts may not approve you to keep a domestic animal like dog. Please understand the situation and mentality of several students and thought of your administration otherwise you will be penalized in other known ways by the Management and you will be in dangerous situation.

A.Hi,
You can approach the court. Ban of pets is illegal and Section 9(k) Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,1960’, makes it illegal for housing societies to pass pet bye laws that disallow pet. According to article 51 A (g), it is the duty of every citizen to have compassion for animals and any living creature.

A.Hi,
You can approach the court. That type of restriction is not logical as According to article 51 A (g), it is the duty of every citizen to have compassion for animals and any living creature. If you wish to bring your pet you should get an option for that as well or else they have to mention the exact reason why such a ban should be there and that should be a reasonable one too.

A.As per the Animal Welfare Board of India's guidelines on Street and Pet dogs no residential association can ban the keeping of pets/dogs in a residential flat or apartments and they cannot make such rules to ban pets.
It is also important that the pet keepers will have to follow certain rules to ensure other's safety and peace.
