While hearing a petition against confinement of\u00a0egg laying hens\u00a0in India for practically entire duration of their productive life to barren wire\u00a0battery cages, the\u00a0Delhi High Court\u00a0on Wednesday gave six weeks’ time to the Centre to finalise a draft which should contain rules after consulting all stakeholders.
\nThe court order came while hearing a plea raising concern over cruelty inflicted on approximately 40 crore\u00a0egg laying hens\u00a0in India. The court observed that “animals can’t speak, it doesn’t mean we can handle them in anyway.”
\nThe matter will be heard again on October 31.
\nThe court was approached seeking a prohibition on the use of new\u00a0battery cages. The petition stated that\u00a0battery cages\u00a0are so small that hens cannot even stand up, turn around or spread their wings without touching sides of cage or other hens.<\/p>\n
