The Supreme Court criticised a petition seeking to return captive elephants from Gujarat’s Vantara rescue centre, calling it “completely vague” and directing the petitioner to add Vantara as a party. The case will be heard next on August 25.
The Supreme Court Today (Aug 11) said it will hear on Thursday a petition claiming elephants were forcibly taken to Gujarat’s Vantara facility. CJI BR Gavai directed the matter to be listed later this week.
Vantara clarifies it followed Supreme Court and Bombay High Court directions in transferring elephant Mahadevi from Kolhapur. Offers full support for her return if Court permits.
