Chief secretaries must appear in person, not virtually: SC slams states for defying orders in stray dogs case

New Delhi, Oct 31 (UNI) The Supreme Court today firmly refused to allow Chief Secretaries of States and union Territories to appear virtually in the ongoing case concerning the management of stray dogs, directing that they must be present in person before the Court.
A Bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta expressed strong displeasure over the repeated non-compliance with its directions, rejecting a request from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to exempt the Chief Secretaries from physical appearance.
“No, let them come physically. Unfortunately, the Court is wasting time here trying to deal with problems which should have been solved by the State Governments and the Municipal Corporations over the years,” remarked Justice Vikram Nath.
