ISLAMABAD:

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) rejected the petition of a citizen on Tuesday seeking registration of a case against a local veterinarian for allegedly killing his pet dog.

The case came to light in the federal capital last week.

According to the civil petition filed by Prince Yasir Arafat - a citizen of F7 - the pet dog died due to the doctor's negligence.

"The dog had been taken in for an ultrasound and routine checkup when the veterinarian administered an antibiotic drip that killed the dog," stated the petition.

The petitioner said that the police were not registering a case and requested the court to order the registration of a case.

During today's hearing, additional sessions judge at the district and sessions court of Islamabad, Tahir Abbas Supra, summoned the investigating officer and the veterinary surgeon, Dr Faisal Khan, before the court.

After the hearing, the judge rejected the citizen.
