New Delhi: The Supreme Court is likely to commence final hearing on Wednesday on a bunch of petitions challenging the mass culling of stray dogs.

A bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra will hear a bunch of petitions including Animal Welfare Board of India's plea to decide the issue of primacy of laws framed by Centre and state governments in this regard. Animal Welfare Board of India had sought that the central law, which mandates birth control of street dogs through strict implementation of the Animal Birth Control Dogs Rules, be followed.
