It further clarified that the respondents shall ensure strict compliance of the amendment to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (The Transport of Animals) Rules, 2020 while transporting the camels in future also for the purpose of their participation in Republic Day Parade, or any other purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner has stated in the writ petition that almost 100 camels are brought every year in goods transport vehicles to Delhi violating the statutory provisions, and therefore, action should be initiated for safe transport of camels against the persons who are involved in transport of camels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the Border Security Force while transporting the camels issues an Expression of Interest (EOI) providing all minute details in respect of the vehicle in which the animals can be transported. The animals are being transported in specialized vehicles and four camels in sitting position along with accessories and fodder are transported in one vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The EOI placed on record makes it very clear that there is enough space in the vehicle which is being used for transport of camels and the BSF has taken all precautionary measures to ensure that the camels are not subjected to cruelty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">the Amendment to Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (The Transport of Animals) Rules, 2020 inserted a new chapter, namely, Chapter V A which specifically provides for Transport of Camels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court remarked that UOI was fair enough in stating that the transportation of camels took place as per the statutory provisions and no violation of any statutory provision took place in respect of the transportation of camels and in future too, they will strictly follow the SOP framed by National Research Centre of Camel, Bikaner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed the Union of India to ensure that the statutory provisions as contained in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002776238\">Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960<\/a> are not violated while transporting camels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further directed the Union of India, the AWBI, the Ministry of Road Transport &amp; Highways as well as the BSF to ensure strict compliance of the SOP read with the Rules governing the field in the matter of transport of camels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Scouts and Guides for Animals and Birds v.
