Delhi Confidential: Time To Act
Directing Delhi-NCR authorities to relocate all strays from streets to shelters, Justice J B Pardiwala, while presiding over a two-judge Supreme Court bench, on Monday recalled a famous dialogue from the Western film The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to convey the message. 'Have you seen that film… the ugly is having (a) bath when all of a sudden one man gets in saying I have been looking for you…The ugly shoots him and says 'when you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk'.' Drawing a parallel with the stray dog problem, he said, 'This is the time to act.'
