Supreme Court issues notice on a plea seeking to declare entire animal kingdom as a legal entity, CJI observes prayer ‘difficult to grant’. “What kind of prayer have you made? You want entire animal kingdom to be treated as legal entity? You want them to be capable of suing and being sued? Animals have protection under various statutes.” remarked CJI Bobde. He added, “You are talking about an increase in liability. We understand humans should be punished for hurting animals but we are on the ‘legal entity’ argument. We are issuing notice but it is unlikely that we will entertain your prayer for legal entity.” “You mean to say your dog is equal to you. You are truly confused”, CJI Bobde responded.
