SC Judge to Sibal: 'Will Show Video, Then Define Humanity' in Stray Dog Hearing

• Supreme Court deferred an urgent hearing on MCD's "inhumane" stray dog rules, sought by senior advocate Kapil Sibal.
• Justice Sandeep Mehta made a stern remark, stating the court would show a video and then define "humanity" at the next hearing.
• Sibal argued MCD's new rules are cruel and violate animal welfare laws, urging immediate intervention.
• The court refused immediate relief, scheduling the next hearing for January 7, 2026.
• Petitioners allege MCD's rules contradict Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules 2023 and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and are removing dogs without adequate shelters.

Why It Matters: SC defers urgent hearing on MCD's stray dog rules; judge hints at video evidence to define humanity.
