The Supreme Court directed the constitution of State Committees to supervise the implementation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Establishment and Registration of Societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Rules, 2000, and other related environmental laws. The Court emphasized the need for experienced Judicial Officers to act as Conveners of these Committees to ensure compliance and periodic reporting. The Court ordered the Chief Justices of High Courts to nominate retired District Judges for this role, with a fixed honorarium, to enhance the effectiveness of the Committees.
