Lawyer takes up case of missing dogs

A leading lawyer in Jaffna used to feed stray dogs near the Jaffna High Court complex every week. Returning after a brief trip to Colombo last week, he was shocked to see there was not a single dog on the premises.

When he inquired from

Court staff about the sudden disappearance of the dogs, he was not given a satisfactory answer. He later got to know that the Jaffna Municipal Council had taken some‘steps' following complaints to remove those stray dogs and admitted them to a dog foster home in

Jaffna.

The lawyer, not convinced with the explanation visited the foster home to see the dogs, but found some missing. The lawyer hasn’t given up the search. If only he can file a Habeas Corpus application, he must be thinking.
