Summary
In 2014, the NGO People for Animals filed a petition with the Delhi District Court in India seeking the release of captured birds sold in markets. The petitioner included pictures of the birds in cages, and the district court decided that the birds would receive care and then be released. The Delhi High Court ruled that the rights of the birds had been violated and cited A. Nagaraja & Ors. V. Animal Welfare Board of India, which declared that birds have the fundamental right to live with dignity and fly in the sky (2).
