The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday (April 10) struck down a circular, issued by the Centre in March, which urged states to ensure the prohibition on the sale, breeding, or keeping of 23 “dangerous” dog breeds, including pitbulls, rottweilers and mastiffs.

A single-judge bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna noted the Centre could not have imposed the ban without an appropriate recommendation from a properly constituted committee, Live Law reported.
It noted that “the composition of the committee is not in consonance with the Rule framed under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.”
