With such disgraceful handling of animals, Sneha’s care with the help of Advocate Padam Bahadur Shrestha requested the Supreme Court to take action against our respondents for not being able to carry out their duties and their negligence resulting in such a tragic incident.

Observing and evaluating the case, the court decided that the respondents strictly act upon their duties with more diligence and care.
