The top court today directed the Delhi government and civic bodies in Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad to begin immediate removal of stray dogs from all localities and house them in shelters, saying the animals must not be returned to the streets.
PETA India's Senior Director of Veterinary Affairs, Dr Mini Aravindan, issued a statement questioning the effectiveness of mass removal.
"Communities think of neighbourhood dogs as family, and the displacement and jailing of dogs is not scientific and has NEVER worked. Per a population survey conducted in 2022-23, Delhi has around 10 lakh community dogs, with less than half sterilised. Forced removal of some 10 lakh community dogs from Delhi's streets will cause uproar in communities that care deeply for them and chaos and suffering for the dogs on a large scale. It will also ultimately do nothing to curb the dog population, reduce rabies or prevent dog bite incidents," the statement read.

1. Overlap with Chartered Accountancy/Big-4 Practice:
IDT has traditionally been a stronghold of chartered accountants and tax consultants. A significant portion of IDT compliance and advisory work lies in accounting, classification, and procedural interpretation—areas where CAs have historically dominated. This overlap can make one hesitant to invest heavily in building IDT teams, as the space is already highly competitive and rate-sensitive.
2. Lower Billing Rates Compared to Other Practice Areas:
Despite being complex and technical, IDT often doesn’t command the same billing rates as other areas like corporate litigation, arbitration, or regulatory work. This perception of lower commercial return can make firms less inclined to prioritize IDT as a core offering.
3. Perceived "Technical" Nature:
IDT involves detailed rules, notifications, circulars, and frequent changes in tax positions. Some law firms view it as more "technical" or compliance-heavy, rather than purely legal or strategic—leading to a perception that it lacks the glamour or strategic depth of constitutional or commercial litigation. That said, forward-looking firms are increasingly recognizing the value of a robust IDT practice, especially as GST-related issues reach higher courts and the need for sophisticated legal strategy grows. Those who position themselves well in this space early will likely see long-term dividends.
2) Do a 3 months assessment internship at a T-3 firm
3) Sit it out and apply for jobs in the meantime
Referrals are generally looked down upon in SCAM, and now SAM has even made a hierarchy of internship timelines (4 weeks>3 weeks>2 weeks) where even if you did get the internship through the referral, you would only be in for 2 weeks. Not only is that lower than the stipulated internship period by the BCI, it also leaves a bad impression in the team you're working with cause you get labelled immediately, and amongst your co-interns as well. So don't be too frustrated since not much would come out of the internship other than just an addition to your resume.

I am in my penultimate year. I really wish to work as an insurance lawyer and my options are limited. I have an internship scheduled there. Hence, I need an idea regarding the same.
