Gauhati HC puts onus on Forest officials on elephants transfer issue

Guwahati, Jun 25 (UNI) Disposing a PIL seeking its intervention in the transport on lease of four elephants from Assam to Gujarat, a division bench of Gauhati High Court today said that the safety of the pachyderms is of paramount importance and it was best left to the experts to be taken care of.
The Division Bench, comprising of Chief Justice (Acting) Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice Manish Choudhury, expressed that it is ill-fit to make any comment as to in what manner the elephants are to be transported.
But, before any such steps are taken the relevant circumstances have to be taken into consideration as the safety of the elephants is of paramount importance and this aspect has to be considered and be left to the experts. Therefore, this obligation was passed by the Division Bench to the Principal Chief Conservator (Wildlife) and Chief Wild Life Warden, Assam.
