Karnataka Govt Has Not Given Permission For Radio-Collaring Of Tigers: High Court Closes PIL

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court on Monday disposed of a petition filed in the year 2009 questioning the action of radio collaring of tigers in the Nagarhole National Park. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice S Vishwajith Shetty said, "The State government had constituted an expert committee to conduct a detailed study on the death of tigers in Nagarhole National Park and by order dated 02-03-1993, the report of the expert committee report has been accepted. In view of the report submitted by the expert committee which has been accepted by the state government and order dated 17-09-2009, passed by Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, by which permission to radio collaring tigers has been refused under section 28 of the Act, the prayer in the petition also does not survive for consideration." It added, "So far as order dated 24-06-2009 granting permission under Section 28 of the Act is concerned, AGA has stated the aforesaid order is no longer in force and seized to operate, therefore the first relief claimed in the petition with regards to order dated 16-11-2007 and 24-06-2009, issued under section 28 does not survive for consideration due to efflux of time."
