Gauhati High Court

A division bench of the Gauhati High Court in Kohima delivered a split verdict on Wednesday on two writ petitions seeking a ban on dog meat sales in Nagaland. Justice Budi Habung dismissed the pleas as devoid of merit and upheld the order allowing sale and consumption of dog meat, while Justice Robin Phukan allowed the appeals and quashed the 2023 order. A detailed order is awaited.
