Drones are being used to locate the problematic tiger, T23, near Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) and Gudalur on Saturday.
More than 75 personnel from the Forest Department, including expert trackers and a Special Task Force are engaged in the operations on ground to track the animal. Officials said that the prime objective of the operation would be to neutralize the animal using non-lethal methods, with the help of tranquillizer darts.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
