Chicken & other varieties of poultry birds fall in the `animal' category under the Food Safety & Standards Act, the Gujarat Govt told the Gujarat High Court on Friday.
It prompted senior lawyer Percy Kavina, who is representing chicken shops which have faced action for violation of rules, to say that in that case, poultry shops will have to engage veterinary doctors to comply fully with law.
In January, 2 NGOs filed a Public Interest Litigation in the High Court seeking a ban on supply of poultry birds to meat shops contending that birds were illegally slaughtered in these establishments instead of being sent to slaughterhouses.
