The Bombay High Court has ruled that preventing someone from feeding stray dogs in non-designated areas does not amount to an offence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), reported the PTI.

A bench comprising Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Sandesh Patil quashed a criminal case registered against a 42-year-old Pune resident who was accused of stopping a woman and her friends from feeding stray dogs at the entrance of a housing society, according to the PTI.
