Abstract | India is known for the most biodiversity regions in the world. India is home for about 92,873 animals. Thus there are several reasons due to which animals are getting affected and one of the reason is human's rapacious nature. Also how animals have been exploited for various purpose. This research paper explores the comprehensive framework governing animal rights in India, focusing on constitutional provisions, legislative acts, and landmark judicial rulings. India's Constitution, through Article 51A(g), emphasizes the fundamental duty of citizens to show compassion towards animals. Furthermore, acts such as the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, provide legal safeguards for animals against exploitation and abuse. These animals rights are managed by the government or non-government organization. Case laws such as the historic judgment include Animal Welfare Board of India v. A. Nagaraja & Ors. (2014) established that animals have intrinsic value and dignity, warranting legal protection. Furthermore, the Supreme Court's directive in People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India v. Union of India (2014) mandated the implementation of guidelines to prevent cruelty towards animals in markets and transportation. This paper elucidates how the judiciary plays a pivotal role in upholding animal rights by interpreting and enforcing laws, thereby fostering a culture of empathy and accountability towards our fellow beings. Despite legislative measures and judicial interventions, challenges persist, necessitating ongoing advocacy and enforcement efforts to ensure the well-being and dignity of animals across the nation. |
