A. 1) ‘No pets allowed here’ is unacceptable as mostly 20% of the persons have pets in their home
2) Even the High Court of Bombay has given favorable judgements relating to pet dogs in society
3) Animal NGOs protect the interest of the pet animals
4) Kindly let us know in which city you BELONG & we will make sure that your pet enters the society premises

A. Dear Client,
In situations like this, it's important to adhere to the decisions made in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Housing Society, as these decisions are typically binding. If the feeding spots for cats were finalized as three in the AGM, it establishes a collective agreement that should be respected. If individuals are seeking additional spots, they should bring up the matter in the next AGM for discussion and potential modification. It's advisable for the cat feeders to engage in ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,

You may file a legal notice against your neighbour for the actions of their dog.

You can file the notice under the ambit of public nuisance. It means the unwarranted interference of enjoyment of personal property and your life. The dog owner must ensure no one in the society is affected by it.

Thank you

A. Dear Client,
Firstly, check your society's bylaws to see if there are any specific rules related to noise or disturbance. Many housing societies have guidelines in place to address such issues. While you have the right to enjoy your property and care for your pet, you also have a responsibility to maintain a peaceful living environment for your neighbors. In India, the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has guidelines for pet owners to ensure their pets do not cause a nuisance to neighbors.

A. Dear Client,
1) In India, there are no specific laws prohibiting the feeding of stray dogs raw meat in residential areas. However, there are Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) guidelines that recommend against feeding stray dogs raw meat. The AWBI guidelines state that "stray dogs should be fed cooked food, preferably rice or chapati mixed with milk or curd." This is because raw meat can contain parasites and bacteria that can make dogs sick.
2) As for the barking of pet dogs, there is no spec ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client
India has regulations concerning the import and possession of exotic animals, including peacocks. It's essential to adhere to the guidelines set by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, to ensure that the transfer of the white peacock to India is done legally and in accordance with the law. Before bringing the white peacock to India, you should seek guidance from the concerned authorities, such as the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Cl ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Firstly, there is no law against feeding strays so get that very clear. There is a Delhi High Court ruling that says that it's our duty to feed them and protection must be provided by police to such individuals who feed stray dogs. This is a right guaranteed under the Constitution of India and no one can stop you from showing compassion towards animals. Feeding stray dogs is legal both within and outside any society, and what is prohibited is threatening dog feeders from carrying o ...ReadMore
