During the hearing, the petitioner, Kennel Club of India (KCI), emphasized that despite the court’s interim orders, the Union ministry proceeded with inviting comments through a notification issued on May 2. The petitioner urged the government to restart the entire process by forming a new expert committee, disregarding the earlier notification that had been stayed by the court. In response, the additional solicitor-general representing the center, ARL Sundaresan, assured the court that he would seek instructions regarding whether the minister could issue a clarification regarding the May 2 public notice.
The court took note of this submission and adjourned the hearing until June 14.
